TUCSON – A former Green Valley Fire Department captain, Nathanael Dougall, was sentenced on Wednesday, March 24, to 90 months in prison after previously pleading guilty to Distribution of Child Pornography.
On November 8, 2018, Dougall, age 39, of Tucson, was arrested for sharing child sex abuse images on a messaging application with an individual he believed to be a 14-year-old girl. Dougall used the same application to engage in sexually explicit chats with the girl, who was actually an undercover law enforcement officer.
Dougall worked as the captain for the Green Valley Fire Department until his arrest.
According to the Department of Justice, when he is released from prison, Dougall will be placed on lifetime supervised release. He will be required to register as a sex offender and to complete a sex offender treatment program.
Dougall was also ordered to pay restitution to several victims depicted in the child sex abuse images he possessed and distributed.
