A federal judge sentenced an Englishman on Tuesday to 85 years in prison for his part in a child pornography trafficking conspiracy, officials announced.
Domminich Shaw, 35, was sentenced by
U.S. District Judge William T. Lawrence also ordered Domminich Shaw, 35, to serve a lifetime of supervised release.
Shaw pleaded guilty on Oct. 22, 2015, to 26 counts, including conspiracy to advertise child pornography and conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography.
He was indicted by a grand jury in Indianapolis on Feb. 23, 2011, and was extradited from the United Kingdom on Dec. 20, 2014.
In 2005, Shaw was convicted in the U.K. of “indecent assault” on four different females under the age of 13.
According to plea documents, Shaw created a website that contained child pornography involving infants and toddlers.
This website allowed Shaw and other co-conspirators to distribute and advertise to each other images and videos, and send one another related messages, so that the child pornography would be shared with other members, according to officials.
Shaw participated on the website under aliases, including “Nepi” and several variations of that word. The word “nepi” is associated with nepiophilia, the sexual attraction to babies, toddlers and very young children, officials said.
This case is part of Operation Bulldog, in which nine individuals have been convicted in Indiana.
