Two Iowa men have been sentenced to federal prison after tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Thirty-seven-year-old Eric Salter of Clinton has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted of receiving child pornography and trying to get a 16-year-old girl to send him sexually explicit material.
A news brief from our partners at Radio Iowa says court records show investigators determined in another case that 55-year-old Douglas Harsh of Adel was in an online chat group in which members shared pictures and videos depicting child pornography. He was sentenced to nine years in federal prison. In both cases, the Justice Department credits the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for providing “CyberTips” to law enforcement about online activity related to child sexual abuse that was ultimately linked to the two Iowa men.
