Fayetteville, Arkansas – Duane (DAK) Kees, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced that Kristopher Still, age 43, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was sentenced yesterday to 135 months in federal prison followed by 20 years of supervised release on one count of Receipt of Child Pornography. The Honorable Timothy L. Brooks presided over the sentencing hearing in the United States District Court in Fayetteville.

During a post-Miranda interview, Still admitted to obtaining images and videos of child pornography online.

Still was indicted in June of 2019 and entered a guilty plea in August of 2019. 

This case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Northwest Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.  Assistant United States Attorney Carly Marshall prosecuted the case for the United States.
