DAVENPORT – An Iowa man was sentenced on June 26, 2025, to 216 months in federal prison for producing and saving thousands of images of child pornography.
According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received Cyber-Tips that an account, later determined to be associated with Christian Brew Allen, 58, received, uploaded, and distributed files containing child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement seized electronic devices during a search of Allen’s Blue Grass residence. A forensic examination of the seized electronic devices showed that Allen used the devices to receive, upload, and distribute more than 2000 images and 175 videos containing child sexual abuse material. The investigation revealed that Allen produced and saved several videos of a minor victim.
After completing his term of imprisonment, Allen (pictured at top) will be required to serve an eight-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. Allen was also ordered to pay $97,000 in restitution.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement. This case was investigated by Scott County Sheriff’s Office.
