Man who had thousands of child abuse files sentenced

CORINTH, Miss. (WTVA) – A man who had thousands of child abuse files received his sentence.

Thursday, 36-year-old Zachary “Zach” Alan Little was sentenced to 10 years in prison, the United States Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Mississippi, said.

Little, of Corinth, was found to have nearly 4,000 child abuse files. The children ranged from seven years old to 10 years old.

The attorney’s office said that he had moved the files from the dark web to an online cloud storage.

After his prison term, Little will have five years of supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender.

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. Launched in 2006 by the Department of Justice, it combats child sexual exploitation and abuse.
