Registered Sex Offender Pleads Guilty to Distribution and Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials

LAS VEGAS - A Las Vegas man pleaded guilty today to uploading and sharing child sexual abuse material with other users on an internet-based social media platform.

According to court documents, Daniel Roy Saringo distributed child sexual abuse material to other users on a social media platform. A forensic analysis of his digital devices revealed a collection of child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices, including cell phones and a laptop.

"This defendant chose to perpetuate horrific abuse against children, and his actions represent a complete betrayal of our most fundamental standards of decency," said First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah. "Every image he shared further violated a real child. This conduct is intolerable, and those who engage in it will be met with the full force of federal prosecution. Our office will relentlessly pursue the toughest charges and the longest sentences the law allows for anyone who exploits a child. Protecting the most vulnerable in our community is non negotiable."

"Saringo facilitated the distribution of child sexual abuse material, thereby fueling demand for child exploitation," said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. "While prosecution cannot undo the harm inflicted on the victims or remove its traces from the Internet, our investigating team, along with partner law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, is committed to preventing harm to vulnerable children. This case was part of the FBI's Operation Relentless Justice and underscores our dedication to holding offenders fully accountable for their crimes."

Saringo was previously convicted of statutory sexual seduction in Clark County, Nevada. In this case, he pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Sentencing has been scheduled for October 15, 2026, before United States District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of 40 years in prison with a qualifying prior conviction. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada and Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto for the FBI Las Vegas Field Office made the announcement.

The FBI and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Afroza Yeasmin is prosecuting the case.

This prosecution is a result of the FBI's Operation Relentless Justice, a nationwide coordinated enforcement effort to identify, track, and arrest child sex predators. In December 2025, over the course of two weeks, the crackdown resulted in over 205 child victims being located and the arrests of over 293 child sexual abuse offenders. The coordinated effort was executed by all 56 FBI field offices, the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) in the Department's Criminal Division, and U.S. Attorneys' offices around the country.

This case is a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
