Tyrone Johnson, 36 years old, of Merrillville, Indiana, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Philip P. Simon, after a jury found him guilty of crimes against children offences, announced United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.
Johnson was sentenced to 390 months in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release.
According to documents in the case, following a two-day trial in August 2023, a jury found Johnson guilty of two counts charged in the second superseding indictment. Specifically, Johnson was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor to produce a visual depiction. He was also convicted of committing a felony offence involving a minor while being required by law to register as a sex offender.
United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson said, “Outcomes such as today’s sentencing are only possible when we have an alert and engaged public that willingly joins with law enforcement to prosecute those who would harm the most vulnerable members of our community.”
“Today, justice was served as the court handed down a fittingly significant sentence to Johnson for his involvement in the egregious crime of producing child pornography,” said HSI Chicago Special Agent in Charge Sean Fitzgerald.
