Repeat Sex Offender Sentenced to 27 years for Victimizing Minors Online and Possessing Child Sex Abuse Material

Yakima, Washington - First Assistant United States Attorney S. Peter Serrano announced that on June 24, 2026, United States District Judge Mary K. Dimke sentenced Corbett Lloyd Craig, age 42, of Goldendale, Washington, to 324 months in prison to be followed by a lifetime period of supervised release after pleading guilty to two counts of Enticement and Attempted Enticement of a Minor and one count of Possession of Child Pornography.

According to court documents and information presented at sentencing, from early in 2022 up until his arrest in June 2025, Craig, utilizing social media, contacted two minor girls for the purpose of coercing them to provide him with sexually explicit videos and images. Craig enticed one of the minor girls by offering her money via gift cards and on-line payments. It was clear from the online communications that Defendant knew these were minors and intended to elicit and did obtain child sex abuse material victimizing these minors online. Based upon that investigation, a search warrant was executed at Craig's home that resulted in the discovery of thousands of additional images of child sex abuse material.

As noted by District Court Judge Dimke, what makes this case even more aggravated supporting this substantial sentence, is Craig's prior history of engaging in the same and similar conduct. In 2017 Craig was convicted of Encouraging Child Abuse in the Second Degree, Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree, and Contributing to the Sexual Delinquency of a Minor in Clackamas County Superior Court, Oregon. Child abuse images from this previous case and the child he victimized, were found on his computer by federal investigators in this case.

First Assistant United States Attorney Pete Serrano stated, "This recidivist sex offender has continued to harm minor victims in our community. Despite court intervention and treatment, this sex offender has continued to victimize children and made it clear he will not stop. I commend the dedication and work from our law enforcement partners and the commitment of this office to bring justice to these victims. Removing this defendant from our community and ensuring he can't have access to children is the only way to ensure its protection. Our office is committed to hunting down these offenders and holding them to account."

"Mr. Craig was fully aware that his actions were not just extremely immoral, but illegal as well," said acting HSI Seattle Special Agent in Charge April Miller. "This sentence will keep this predator off the streets and keep our children safer. HSI will continue to investigate these crimes against children. We owe our communities nothing less."

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Klickitat County Sheriff's Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael Murphy.
