A 42-year-old man from The Dalles was sentenced Thursday to seven years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release for transporting and possessing child pornography.  According to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Portland, Jonathan David Murphy had pleaded guilty on February 27 to one count each of transportation and possession of child pornography.  According to court documents, local and federal law enforcement conducted undercover investigations in 2017 of online peer-to-peer file sharing programs being used to exchange images of child pornography.  Three separate investigations led investigators to an internet protocol address registered to a home Murphy shared with his fiancée in The Dalles.  In June 2018, investigators executed a federal search warrant at the residence and Murphy consented to an interview.  The U.S. Attorney’s office says Murphy admitted to using uTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing network, to download and share child pornography.  After his release from prison, Murphy will be required to register as a sex offender.
