Child Porn Distribution, Possession Lands Delco Woman 14 Years

UPPER DARBY, PA — A Delaware County woman will spend the next 14 years behind bars after she was convicted of re-blogging and uploading child pornography to various Tumblr blogs.

Acting United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said Bryanna Miller, 23, of Upper Darby, was sentenced to 14 years in prison, 10 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay $11,000 in restitution for distributing and possessing child pornography.

In January 2020, Miller pleaded guilty to three counts of distribution and attempted distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography.

Charged were filed after it was discovered Miller’s re-blogged and uploaded child pornography to various Tumblr blogs from February 2016 to November 2018.

Additionally, Miller possessed child pornography on two laptop computers, which the FBI seized from her bedroom in December 2018.

In total, the FBI found more than 2,600 images and videos of child pornography from Miller's blogs and laptop computers, most of which involved prepubescent girls and very young children, including dozens of infants and toddlers, and some involving sadism/masochism.

"The danger this defendant poses to the community cannot be understated, since she has openly admitted that she is sexually aroused by young children," Williams said. "By seeking out and sharing these horrific depictions, Miller only added to the demand for these types of images to be produced and more children to be victimized. Our Office and our law enforcement partners are committed to holding people like this defendant accountable, no matter their age, gender or status in the community."

"Images of children being sexually abused aren’t just documenting a moment in time. They’re a window into the horrific ongoing reality for many of these kids," said Jacqueline Maguire, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division. "People who collect this material perpetuate the demand for it, which means more children will be exploited. That’s something the FBI simply won’t stand for. We will never stop working to protect the most vulnerable among us."
