Summary
Shane Pruett, of Twin Falls, Idaho, was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for possession of child sexual abuse material. Homeland Security Investigations opened the case after a cyber tip from Reddit identified an account that had posted such material. A search warrant for the account recovered images and messages reflecting a sexual interest in children, and a residential search recovered material on multiple devices. He was ordered to register as a sex offender and pay restitution.
