A Davenport man was sentenced to federal prison on child pornography charges.

According to court documents, Zane McBride, 48, was identified as a suspect through cyber tip notifications from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The investigation showed that McBride was downloading, viewing, chatting online about and trading child sexual assault material with other people. McBride was attributed with receiving over 10,000 visual depictions of child sexual assault material.

McBride was sentenced July 11 to 216 months in federal prison for receipt of child pornography. McBride was ordered to pay $21,000 in restitution. After completing his term of imprisonment, McBride will be required to serve five years of supervised release.

The case was investigated by the Davenport Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched by the Department of Justice.
