A Tempe man, Joseph Alexander Dashee, age 26, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for distribution of child pornography and abusive sexual contact. Dashee will also be on lifetime supervised release and he will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Dashee was sentenced after pleading guilty to distribution of child pornography and abusive sexual contact.
In the summer of 2015, FBI agents discovered Dashee was downloading and distributing child pornography through bit torrent file sharing. A search of Dashee’s residence resulted in the seizure of 90 images and seven videos containing child pornography. During questioning, Dashee also admitted sexually abusing two minor victims under the age of 12.
