Dennis Doyle, a former Democratic mayor of Beaverton, Oregon, was given a six-month prison sentence and ordered to pay $22,000 in restitution to the victims by a federal court on Tuesday for possession of child pornography, as announced by the Oregon District U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Sponsored by Revcontent Possession of child pornography can carry a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the former Dem mayor will serve a sentence of six months will be followed by a period of five years of supervised release.
A U.S. Attorney’s Office representative told the Daily Caller “Mr. Doyle will be required to register as a sex offender for life.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office reported that Doyle knowingly possessed child pornography images between November 2014 and December 2015, confessing when FBI agents approached him in early 2022 before pleading guilty to one count in October.
As reported by Willamette Week, Doyle was first elected as mayor in 2009 and lost his 2020 re-election bid to Beaverton City Councilor Lacey Beaty.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Beaverton Police Department informed the FBI in January 2022 after a local business alerted them to the discovery of a thumb drive containing child pornography and personal photographs that were believed to belong to Doyle. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children identified several of the images as depicting known sexually exploited minors who were under the age of 12.
And he only got 6 months and a 22,000 dollar fine. That's a slap on the wrist for someone like him.
