Beth Phillips, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Morrisville, Mo., man has been sentenced in federal court for distributing child pornography over the Internet.
John M. Davison, 30, of Morrisville, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ortrie D. Smith on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011, to 27 years in federal prison without parole.
On July 8, 2011, Davison pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing child pornography over the Internet in April 2010.

During the course of the training into how to conduct computer investigations into the distribution of child pornography, the officer noticed that a computer in Polk County was online offering images of child pornography. The officer downloaded video files from Davison’s computer, as well as additional files of child pornography during the course of the investigation. The computer was traced to the residence where Davison lived with his parents.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall D. Eggert. It was investigated by the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crime Task Force and the Polk County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department.
