Washington County man admits to having 130,000 images of child pornography

A Washington County man has pleaded guilty to having more than 130,000 images of child pornography.

David Dion, 47, of Greenwich, admitted in U.S. District Court that from July 2023 to January 2024, he distributed images and videos of child sexual abuse material through an encrypted chat messenger to another person, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. He also had images on five electronic devices.

In addition, prosecutors said he used non-pornographic images of known children and superimposed their faces onto images he found on the internet to create fake images that they were engaged in sexual conduct.

Dion faces at least 5 years in prison when sentenced on June 13.
