CHICAGO — An Illinois registered sex offender was sentenced March 23 to 56 years in state prison on multiple counts of child sexual assault and production of child pornography.

Tyler McIntosh, 29, of Belvidere, Illinois, was sentenced in Boone County, Illinois to 56 years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, and four counts of child pornography.

“The sentence handed down in this case is instrumental in pursuing justice for the victims of McIntosh’s heinous crimes.” said James M. Gibbons, special agent in charge of HSI Chicago. “HSI will continue to partner with state, local and international authorities to ensure sexual predators are apprehended and prosecuted.”

In July 2015, investigators from HSI’s Cyber Crime Center (C3) in Fairfax, Virginia, were monitoring a website used to exchange child pornography. This led to the execution of a search warrant at a residence in Belvidere. Evidence found during the search showed that Tyler McIntosh had uploaded numerous photos of children under the age of 13 engaged in sexual acts. Two children who were depicted in the photos were in the house at the time of the search warrant, and it was determined that McIntosh had engaged in sexual acts with those children, as depicted in the photos.

Following his prison sentence, McIntosh will be on parole for at least three years and will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
