Illinois man gets 8 years for child pornography in exchange for guilty plea: prosecutors

KANE COUNTY, Ill. - A 31-year-old man was handed down an eight-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to child pornography in Kane County. 

David L. Newtoff, of Manhattan, Ill, agreed Thursday to an eight-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea to child pornography, a Class X felony. 

His charge stems from Nov. 2022, when prosecutors say he disseminated a child pornography video. 

In addition to his prison sentence, Newtoff must also register for life as a sex offender, according to officials. 

Under the Illinois law, he is also eligible for day-for-day sentencing and has a credit for two days served in the Kane County Jail.

Kane County State's Attorney Jamie Mosser issued this statement on Newtoff's sentence. 

"Child pornography is not a victimless crime. My thanks to everyone with the Child Exploitation Unit for their work on this case."
