Child porn charges net Warren man 6 to 9 years

WARREN — A Warren man was sentenced Wednesday to six to nine years after pleading guilty to multiple felony child porn charges.

David B. Thompson, 64, of Mahoning Avenue NW, was sentenced by Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Cynthia Westcott Rice on three counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and one charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.

Upon release, Thompson will be labeled a Tier 2 sex offender, a designation that requires him to register twice a year with the local sheriff’s office where he resides for the next 25 years.

Rice’s ruling also prohibits Thompson from living within 1,000 feet of a school, preschool or daycare.

Prosecutors said the case involved a Warren police investigation into a cyber tip received by a Cuyahoga County task force looking into internet crimes against children.

An investigation found Thompson had been uploading and downloading images onto his devices.
