Forestville man sentenced in child porn case

A Forestville man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of receipt and possession of child pornography.

Richard C. Miller, 53, was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan P. Cantil, who handled the case, stated that between 2006 and 2009, Miller allegedly produced child pornography by filming himself engaged in a sexual act with a minor. Between January 2016 and March 2017, Miller and Joseph Harvey reportedly exchanged images of child pornography and engaged in illicit discussions regarding child pornography and pedophilia.

In addition, a search of the residence shared by the defendants revealed multiple electronic devices that contained child pornography.

Harvey was previously convicted and sentenced to serve 96 months in prison.
