United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid
City, South Dakota, man convicted of Possession of Child Pornography was
sentenced on June 7, 2019, by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District
Court.
Matthew King Adkins, age 48, was sentenced to 5 months in
custody, which he had already served, 5 years of supervised release, and a
special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Adkins was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 8,
2018. He pled guilty and was detained on
January 4, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from an incident between April 6,
2017, and April 21, 2017, when it was discovered that Adkins, who was residing
in Rapid City at the time, knowingly possessed images of child pornography on
his computer. Some of the images
included prepubescent minors. The
digital files were transported in interstate commerce over the internet by
computer, and therefore, affected interstate or foreign commerce. Law
enforcement also found on his computer stories written by Adkins referencing
sexual activity between adults and children.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney
Jeffrey C. Clapper prosecuted the case.
