SALT LAKE CITY () — A South Jordan man previously convicted for possessing over 500 files of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) has been sentenced to federal prison for his crime.
Daniel David Egli, 51, of South Jordan, was convicted on Nov. 4, 2024, for possessing CSAM while on federal supervision for another charge during 2021. Senior U.S. District Court Judge Tena Campbell sentenced him today.
Egli was sentenced to 210 months' imprisonment — over 19 years. He will also serve a lifetime term of supervised release, meaning that he will be required to check in with a probation officer for the rest of his life, and can be sent back to prison if he violates the terms of his release.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office District of Utah (UAO), Egli's parole officer discovered that Egli had a laptop and smartphone, as well as other electronic devices he was not permitted to have as part of his release conditions.
When Egli's devices were reviewed, it was discovered that he had accessed, viewed, and possessed nearly 500 files of CSAM. He was charged with the offense in 2022 and convicted in 2024. He had a history of child exploitation and had been convicted of the same offense in 2004 and again in 2010.
'Egli is a repeat offender of child exploitation, and he has shown a complete lack of remorse and rehabilitation in his continued behavior,' Acting U.S. Attorney Felice John Viti of the District of Utah is quoted in the release. 'Community safety is a priority of the U.S. Attorney's Office, and our law enforcement partners. Our community and the children in it are safer with Egli behind bars.'
Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
