An Iowa City man has been sentenced to over 16 years in federal prison for receiving child pornography and distribution of child pornography.
According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, 26-year-old Evan Steinberg received and distributed files containing child sexual abuse material. In December 2021, local law enforcement seized electronic devices during a search of Steinberg’s Iowa City residence. A forensic examination of the seized electronic devices showed that Steinberg used the devices to solicit, receive, and distribute images and videos containing child sexual abuse material. Steinberg’s five devices contained hundreds of images and videos of child pornography, including prepubescent males, as young as under one year old, engaging in sex acts with adults.
After completing his 200-month term of imprisonment, Steinberg will be required to serve a five-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Steinberg was also ordered to pay $8,000 in assessments.
