COEUR D’ALENE – Jacob Anthony Lincoln, 28, of Moscow, was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court to 63 mos in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for obscene visual representations, U.S. Attorney Bart M. Davis announced. Lincoln pleaded guilty on Mar 19, '18.
According court records, in 2016, law enforcement officers observed that a computer in the Moscow area was making child pornography available on the internet. This information, and other evidence, resulted in a state search warrant for Lincoln’s Moscow residence.
During the subsequent search, officers seized a computer from Lincoln’s bedroom. When examined, the computer had 2,590 files depicting child pornography, including images of children being sexually abused.
U.S. District Court Judge David C. Nye, also ordered Lincoln to forfeit the hard drive he used during the commission of the crime and to pay $2,000 to a child whose image Lincoln possessed. Lincoln will be required to register as a sex offender because of his conviction.
