Webster Parish Man Indicted for Child Exploitation and Child Pornography

SHREVEPORT, LA—Curtis Dale Lolly, 54, of Doyline, La., was indicted for production and attempted production of images involving child exploitation and possession of child pornography, United States Attorney Donald W. Washington announced today. Lolly was charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of children, one count of attempted exploitation of children, and two counts of possession of child pornography. Lolly is scheduled to appear for arraignment before United States Magistrate Judge Mark Hornsby on January 5, 2010.

The indictment alleges that Lolly used females under the age of 18 to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of the conduct and that he possessed images of child pornography.

If convicted, Lolly could face a maximum sentence of 30 years and a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both, for each count of sexual exploitation of children. Child pornography is punishable by a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both.

An indictment is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Shreveport Resident Agency, the Webster Parish Sheriff’s Department, the Bossier City Marshal’s Office, and the Northwest Louisiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Earl M. Campbell.
