ICE investigation leads to prison sentence for 'dangerous predator' who abused 2-year-old

Investigators uncovered 600+ child abuse images on the man's devices

An ICE Homeland Security Investigations probe in Maryland led to the sentencing of a man who "used his position of authority" to sexually abuse a 2-year-old and who produced and distributed child sex abuse material online.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander sentenced Maryland man Mark Rice, 38, to 30 years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release for producing and distributing child sexual abuse material. The sentence was part of a plea deal.

A statement by the Department of Justice said Rice pleaded guilty to one count of producing child sexual abuse material, one count of distributing child sexual abuse material, and one count of possessing child sexual abuse material.

According to the DOJ, the charges stemmed from Rice "sexually abusing two minors in his care" while using social media platforms such as Reddit, Telegram, and Kik to distribute materials depicting his victims and to solicit and access materials depicting other children.
