U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Michael Bevill, 37, of Niagara Falls, who was convicted of production of child pornography, was sentenced to serve 324 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Franz T. Wright, who handled the case, stated that, between June 2022 and August 2023, Bevill engaged in prohibited sexual conduct with a minor child under 12 years old. Bevill produced photographs and video recordings of himself sexually abusing the minor child on multiple occasions. He admits that he gave the minor child sedatives before producing the child pornography. Bevill then distributed the visual depictions he produced to another individual using the Telegram messaging application.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia.
