Brit soft play boss ordered to unlock iPhone at airport jailed for 25 years The owner of a children's soft play centre was jailed for 25 years in an American federal prison, after being found with child abuse images and videos on his iPhone.
US District Judge Wendy D Berger sentenced Steven Paul McInally to 25 years in federal prison for transporting and possessing child sexual abuse material after pleading guilty on November 1, last year.
Led by the United States Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
A spokesperson for the US Attorneys Office said in a statement: "This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
It is understood that some of the child sexual abuse material found on his phone included images of children that had been taken during a sleepover party they had attended at his home.
