Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that 48-year-old Meyer Michael Stratton, of Mesa, Arizona was sentenced to 12 years after being convicted on felony charges of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and Attempted Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. Upon release, Stratton will serve a consecutive term of lifetime probation and will be required to register as a sex offender.

Stratton pleaded guilty in January 2019 to two felony counts related to the possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which he had obtained through a peer-to-peer file sharing network.

The case began when investigators with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, utilizing CRC Technology, identified Stratton’s digital activity as part of a broader network sharing CSAM.

Stratton was arrested on July 19, 2018. During the search of his residence, investigators found graphic images of CSAM on a backup drive he was using to transfer files from an older computer. Digital records revealed that Stratton had been involved in trading CSAM dating back to at least 2007.
