Jarvey, to 54 months (4 1/2 years) in prison to be followed by fifteen years of supervised release for possession of child pornography.

Hill entered a guilty plea to the charge on June 9th, 2016. The investigation began with a report of a domestic assault involving Hill as a victim.

Shortly after law enforcement obtained the images, Hill moved to the State of Washington.

The investigation was conducted by the Missouri Valley Police Department, the Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force — Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
