CHICAGO — A north suburban man was sentenced Wednesday to 25 years in federal prison for distributing thousands of sexually explicit images and videos of children.
Ronald Feder, 32, of Skokie, Illinois, offered to give child pornography to an individual he met online in exchange for what Feder thought would be access to molest the individual’s nephew and niece.
During a December 2017 meeting in a coffee shop in Lincolnwood, Illinois, Feder handed the individual a flash drive containing approximately 453 videos and 7,932 images of child pornography.
Unbeknownst to Feder, the individual was an undercover law enforcement officer, and the nephew and niece did not exist.
Feder was arrested at the coffee shop and has remained in custody since.
The online communication and coffee shop meeting occurred while Feder was free on bond in connection with a previous child pornography charge.
Feder pleaded guilty earlier this year to child pornography charges in both cases.
U.S. District Judge Matthew F. Kennelly imposed a total sentence of 25 years in prison, to be followed by 25 years of supervised release.
In the first case against Feder, a grand jury in Chicago indicted him in 2016 for possessing a sexually explicit image of a minor under the age of twelve.
The conduct occurred while Feder was working as a civilian employee of the Armed Forces and living overseas.
Feder initially pleaded not guilty to that charge and was ordered released on bond in September 2016, with a condition of the release prohibiting him from accessing the internet.
Feder violated the bond condition when he went online and began communicating with the undercover officer.
Using the online aliases “Tom Bradly” and “Jack Wayne,” Feder engaged in online and telephone communications with the undercover officer prior to the meeting in the Lincolnwood, Illinois coffee shop.
Once again white people think they can do whatever they want. Shoot up schools, blow up buildings, screw little kids…. the worse thing about America is the people in charge, white people.
Well, maybe hes friends with the clintons? anyway, no prison for this one. dont like the thought of living in a state that is considered friendly to child molesters, really dont wanna pay for them to live in prison. i work for a living and sometimes dont eat three times a day. why the f*ck do inmates charged with sex crimes get anything other than a .22 bullet in the ear, it drops a cow when its time to butcher one. so it may be to dam* good for them anyway.
One suspects the amount of children being molested is greater than the amount of people in the armed forces. Twisted and perverted minds continue to pass on this sickness of the soul. Creating societies problems of tomorrow. Mental health is directly tied to exploitation such as this. Priests and teachers should be tarred and feather in public at the very least. The amount of shame they bring into the world is appalling.
A few eggs short of a dozen. He should be taken out and hung.
