MARQUETTE, MI— A Kingsford man will spend the next 30 years in prison for sexual exploitation of a child.
Dalton Braun, 36, was also sentenced Friday to 10 years of supervised release.
He pleaded guilty to recording a video of himself sexually abusing a minor child in July of 2024 and distributing the video on the internet. U.S. District Judge Robert J. Jonker noted that the case involved “truly egregious facts.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led by the Marquette Resident Agency, Michigan State Police, Kingsford Department of Public Safety, and Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.
Information obtained as part of the investigation has led to six additional child victims being recovered from abusive situations, five additional federal indictments, and two state or local arrests.
