DOJ Press

PORTLAND, Maine:  A Massachusetts man was sentenced today in federal court for transporting child pornography, U.S. Attorney Darcie N. McElwee announced.

Chief U.S. District Judge Jon D. Levy sentenced Daniel Stasiak, 44, to six years in prison to be followed by seven years of supervised release. Stasiak pleaded guilty on September 23, 2021.

According to court records, while present in Maine, Stasiak sent a video of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct over the Kik messaging app. Among the recipients of the video was an undercover law enforcement officer in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. The video depicted a child appearing to be four to six years old.

The FBI and the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.


This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Department’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
