Tyler Ulm, a Dayton registered sex offender who pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court to 60 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release for producing child pornography through the sexual abuse of two toddlers.

Ulm, 25, created child pornography by sexually abusing a 2-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy over the course of a year. He abused the 2-year-old on at least five occasions at various locations in the Dayton area and the 3-year-old at least twice at Ulm’s Dayton residence.

Ulm produced at least seven videos and 58 pictures of the abuse.

U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers said, “Even worse, he recorded the assaults with his phone and then freely distributed videos and images of the acts of torture. Every day he spends in prison is a safer day for our children.”

The plea was a global resolution that also involved state charges arising out of Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

Federally, Ulm pleaded guilty to two counts of producing and one count of distributing child pornography, as well as committing a felony offense involving a minor while being required to register as a sex offender.

He also accepted responsibility for his state charges, including two counts of rape of a person under 10 years of age, two counts of rape of a person under 10 years of age by force and two counts of gross sexual imposition of a person under 13 years of age.

U.S. District Judge Walter H. Rice imposed the sentence.
