Champaign County man sentenced to 15 years in prison for distributing child pornography

DAYTON, Ohio – Christopher Creamer, 40, of Urbana, was sentenced in U.S. District Court today to 180 months in prison, followed by a 15-year term of supervised release, for distributing child pornography. 

According to court documents, from June to August 2025, Creamer communicated online with an individual he believed to be a Telegram user but was actually an FBI agent. Creamer distributed two images and 16 videos of child pornography to the agent. He also discussed his interest in the sexual abuse of children.

In a subsequent search of Creamer’s electronic devices, agents discovered more than 3,000 images and 130 videos depicting child pornography, including images of the sexual abuse of infants and toddlers and sadomasochistic conduct. 

Creamer further admitted that he previously sexually abused a 14-year-old victim.

Creamer was arrested and charged by federal criminal complaint in March and pleaded guilty in July.

Dominick S. Gerace II, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Jason Cromartie, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cincinnati Division,  announced the sentence imposed today by Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Rose. Assistant United States Attorney Christina E. Mahy is representing the United States in this case.

This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
