Men from Navarre and Huron indicted on child pornography charges


Two men were indicted for child pornography crimes.

David Nestor, 39, of Navarre, was indicted on one count of receipt and distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Nestor received and distributed images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct between October and December 2018, and possessed those images on January 22, 2019.

Jordan Coffman, 23, of Huron, was indicted on one count of possession of child pornography. Coffman, in 2015, possessed images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after reviewing factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.

The Nestor case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carol Skutnik following an investigation by the FBI. The Coffman case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Ballard Tangeman following an investigation by the FBI.         

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Defendants are entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
