Repeat sex offender sentenced for possession of child sexual abuse material

A Las Vegas man was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in federal prison for possession of child sexual abuse material on his digital devices, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.

Max Milton, who was on federal supervision for a prior conviction of coercion and enticement of a minor, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. He was also sentenced to 30 years of supervised release.

While on supervised release, Milton possessed more than 10 images and videos of child sex abuse material, according to DOJ.

“Today’s sentence reflects the gravity of these horrific crimes and the necessity of removing repeat predators from our communities,” said Sigal Chattah, Nevada’s first assistant U.S. attorney, in a statement included in the news release.

The FBI investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Afroza Yeasmin prosecuted it, the news release said. The case was part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation.
