CEDAR RAPIDS – Two Iowa men who molested children and then traded images of their insidious conduct have been served justice, authorities say.

Justin James Paisley, age 35, from Dubuque, Iowa, received a 45-year prison term after a December 18, 2024 guilty plea to sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography.

Evidence at the sentencing hearing showed that between the spring of 2022 and May 2024, on multiple occasions, Paisley and his co-conspirator, John Dixon, committed sexual acts with a prepubescent child. They photographed and videotaped the child engaging in sexual conduct and sent those images to each other via text message. Paisley also photographed a second prepubescent child engaged in sexually explicit conduct and sent the photograph to Dixon.

Paisley was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge C.J. Williams. Paisley was sentenced to 540 months’ imprisonment and must also serve a 10-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Paisley is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

John Dixon’s sentencing hearing has been scheduled for June 23, 2025. Dixon remains in custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing. Dixon faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years’ imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of 50 years’ imprisonment, a $500,000 fine, $95,200 in special assessments, and life term of supervised release following any imprisonment.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Devra T. Hake and investigated by the Dubuque Police Department.
