A 56-year-old man is going to jail after his conviction in a Phoenix case that involved computer files with “horrific images of the sexual abuse and rape" of children, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Timothy Burton McGee has been sentence to 170 years for possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.
In 2019 and 2020, the Phoenix Police Department received tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a user who was downloading child sexual abuse material.
Two Dropbox accounts listed under an IP address linked to the defendant’s home had more than 633 files of child sexual abuse material, according to the MCAO.
“Many of the files contained horrific images of the sexual abuse and rape of very young children, including infants and toddlers. Each Dropbox account showed multiple logins between January 2019 and March 2020 from the defendant’s home, church, and work,” an MCAO release stated.
“On June 9, 2020, while executing a search warrant of the defendant’s residence, detectives also found the defendant’s laptop which contained an additional 1,182 CSAM files.”
McGee was found guilty on Jan. 11 of 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. On March 1, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison for each count to be served consecutively.
“While we don’t know any of the victims in this case, we do know the trauma and harm each of them carries is immeasurable,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said.
“These crimes take place in the shadows, but it is up to us to shine a light and make sure these predators are held accountable. It is my prayer that these victims know someone is on their side fighting for them.”
