LANSING, MI— A former sailor has been sentenced to five years in prison for receiving child sexually abusive material.
While enlisted in the U.S. Navy, Stephen Condreay, 22, of Braidwood, Illinois created a fake Snapchat profile and received explicit photos from an 11-year-old victim. He pleaded guilty in April to receipt of child pornography and was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.
The Homeland Security Investigations Sault Ste. Marie office and Michigan State Police investigated the case.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
