A Medford man was sentenced to federal prison Friday for sexually abusing a minor victim in his care and distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
The U.S. Attorney's Office, in a release, said David Michael Burnett, 37, was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison and a lifetime term of supervised release.
According to court documents, starting in June 2024, Burnett sent five videos of himself sexually abusing a minor victim in his care. Investigators seized Burnett’s devices and found over 300 videos and almost 8,000 images of CSAM.
On August 1, 2024, a federal grand jury in Medford returned a two-count indictment charging Burnett with sexual exploitation of children and distribution of child pornography. On February 3, 2026, Burnett pleaded guilty to both counts.
U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon made the announcement. This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Medford Police Department.
