Charlotte Man Sentenced: Over 8,270 child porn images found on phone, including infants and toddlers, DOJ says
CHARLOTTE () — A Charlotte man has been sentenced to more prison time after child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including images of infants and toddlers, was found on his phone, according to Russ Ferguson, the United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. On Thursday, June 12, David Michael Dakoski, 62, of Charlotte, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possession of CSAM. Dakoski is ordered to pay $88,000 in restitution and, following his prison sentence, will be on supervised release for the rest of his life. At the time of this crime, Dakoski was already a convicted sex offender on supervised release and must remain a registered sex offender. In January 2018, Dakoski was convicted and later sentenced for possessing and receiving child pornography between November 2014 and June 2015. In November 2022, he was released from prison and placed on supervised release.

According to court records, the officers found that Dakoski had an unauthorized cell phone with CSAM on it. Because of this, Dakoski's release was revoked and he was arrested. He then served two years in prison for violating his release. Court records say the phone seized from Dakoski was turned over to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). A forensic search of the phone found over 8,270 images and six videos of CSAM, including images of infants and toddlers being sexually abused. As a result, charges were brought against Dakoski, and, in April 2024, he pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography involving minors under the age of 12. Currently, he is being held in federal custody awaiting transfer to prison. This case was part of , a nationwide effort to fight child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Man who pledged loyalty to ISIS plotted attack on college football stadium, court records say
An Oklahoma man who pledged his loyalty to the Islamic State wanted to carry out a terrorist attack on the Oklahoma Sooners' football stadium in 2023, court records show. Landon Kyle Swinford said he and a source who turned out to be an undercover officer noticed flaws in the stadium's security situation and began scouting out the venue, according to the documents. Swinford "had looked at barricades and security and thought the stadium could be a potential target for an attack," the records say. Swinford and the undercover officer were in communication from May 2023 until that October, and Swinford told the undercover officer he intended to travel to Tunisia to fight for the Islamic State. Swinford said he "sadly" would have carried out the attack had he been able to afford it. Swinford also had an interest in attacking New Orleans, which was the site of a terror attack on New Year's Day. Swinford allegedly wanted to carry out an attack during Mardi Gras at the voodoo temple. Swinford pleaded guilty to charges of child pornography possession and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. He's awaiting sentencing for those charges. The latest documents tying Swinford to ISIS communication were released Monday. Court records say Swinford told FBI officials he posted to influence others to bomb local synagogues and inspire others on behalf of ISIS. The Sooners have played at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium since 1923, and the venue was renovated ahead of the 2019 season. The stadium seats 80,126, but its largest attendance reached over 88,000 in 2017. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
