ICAC Offender Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison
In March 2020, an OSBI ICAC and Department of Homeland Security Investigations Task Force Officer (HSI TFO) in Tulsa, Oklahoma received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding a Google account that was in possession of child exploitation material. The Cybertip indicated the Google user, identified as Matthew Alan MCNAIR, was using three different Google email accounts to store the material. Agents issued search warrants to all three Google email accounts and found MCNAIR to be in possession of in excess of 1000 images and/or videos depicting child exploitation material. During the investigation, Agents discovered images that appeared to be homemade. The images depicted an adult male sexually abusing a female juvenile, approximately 1-2 years in age. The adult male in the images possessed tattoos that matched those of MCNAIR. The investigation uncovered information pertaining to MCNAIR being a registered sex offender in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. MCNAIR was a transient sex offender, so no exact residential address was available for him.
Investigators turned their focus to the homemade images. Information was obtained throughout the investigation indicating MCNAIR had previously lived in the Delphi, Indiana area for a period of time in 2017. During that time, MCNAIR lived with the family of his then girlfriend and had access to a female juvenile, approximately 1-2 years of age. HSI TFO requested the assistance of HSI Indiana in identifying the victim. The identity of the female juvenile was confirmed by the parents of the victim.
Due to the most serious offense occurring in Indiana, MCNAIR was indicted in the Federal court of the Northern District of Indiana on the charges of Transportation of Child Pornography and Forfeiture Allegation and Sex Offender Committing New Offense and Forfeiture Allegation, both charges under Federal law.
On October 27, 2022, MCNAIR was convicted and sentenced to a total of 480 months on the above charges. MCNAIR will be turned over to the Bureau of Prisons upon his release from the Department of Corrections in Nebraska on unrelated charges.
