Michigan Men Sentenced 40 Years Federal Prison Child Sex Abuse Material

Two Michigan men have been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for producing and distributing child sexual abuse material. Stephen Lewis Gentry, 35, of Clinton Township, pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and was already a registered sex offender with prior convictions. The FBI found evidence that Gentry created and distributed abusive images involving numerous minor victims. Separately, Daniel Augustine Solis, 33, was sentenced for manipulating his girlfriend to create explicit videos involving a minor, which he then distributed to her coworkers and friends. Solis pleaded guilty after a trial began, and was also ordered to pay restitution and receive lifetime supervised release. Both cases highlight ongoing federal efforts to combat child exploitation and protect vulnerable children, as emphasized by U.S. Attorneys involved in the prosecutions.
