September 25, 2026 – LAS VEGAS, NV – A Las Vegas man was sentenced on Wednesday by Chief United States District Judge Andrew P. Gordon to 120 months in prison to be followed by 30 years of supervised release for 
possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on his digital devices while he was on federal supervision for a prior conviction of coercion and enticement of a minor. The government recommended a sentence of 120 months in prison.
“Today's sentence reflects the gravity of these horrific crimes and the necessity of removing repeat predators from our communities,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “Individuals who continue to possess and consume child sexual abuse material inflict lasting harm on vulnerable children. Our office will remain relentless in pursuing and prosecuting those who perpetuate this cycle of abuse, especially recidivist offenders who defy prior court interventions.”
“To anyone targeting our children, understand this: you cannot outrun or evade justice,” said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. “Law enforcement will find you, and you will face the full consequences of your actions. Our community has zero tolerance for child predators. The FBI remains fiercely dedicated to securing justice for victims and aggressively preventing future exploitation.”
According to court documents, Max Milton was on supervision for a prior federal conviction of coercion and enticement of a minor. While on supervised release, he possessed over 10 images and videos of CSAM depicting prepubescent minors.
Milton pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. In addition to his sentence of imprisonment, Milton will be required to pay restitution to his victims and to register as a sex offender in the place where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).
The FBI investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Afroza Yeasmin prosecuted the case.
These cases are a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, 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.
