A Las Vegas man, Daniel Roy Saringo, a registered sex offender, pleaded guilty today to federal charges of distributing and possessing child sexual abuse material after uploading and sharing content on an internet-based social media platform.
Court documents reveal that Saringo distributed child sexual abuse material to other users, and a forensic analysis of his digital devices, including cell phones and a laptop, uncovered a collection of such illicit content. Saringo had a prior conviction for statutory sexual seduction in Clark County, Nevada.
First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah condemned Saringo's actions, saying, "This defendant chose to perpetuate horrific abuse against children, and his actions represent a complete betrayal of our most fundamental standards of decency." Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office added that Saringo "facilitated the distribution of child sexual abuse material, thereby fueling demand for child exploitation."
Saringo pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of 40 years in prison due to a qualifying prior conviction, with sentencing scheduled for October 15, 2026, before United States District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Afroza Yeasmin.
This prosecution is part of the FBI’s "Operation Relentless Justice," a nationwide effort that, in December 2025, led to the location of over 205 child victims and the arrest of more than 293 child sexual abuse offenders. It also falls under "Project Safe Childhood," a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation.
