DOVER, Del.- A Dover man has been indicted after police say he planned to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware indicted 28-year-old Daniel Arthur Hill on three counts of production of child pornography, one count of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor, three counts of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

 

Hill was arrested back in December 2015 on Delaware state charges for solicitation of a minor and other related offenses.  According to the Attorney General's officer, Hill allegedly engaged online with an individual that he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, then planned to meet this minor to engage in sexual activity.   

 

According to the allegations in the indictment, Hill possessed multiple child pornography images, including images that Hill had distributed within an online chat group.  Additionally, the indictment alleges that Hill had produced images of child pornography and distributed these images over the internet to other individuals. 

 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice
