A West Plains man was sentenced in federal court for reportedly possessing hundreds of computer-generated images of child sexual abuse. Twenty-four-year-old Dace Allen Doverspike pleaded guilty on August 29, 2023, to possessing an obscene visual representation of the sexual abuse of children.
According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Missouri, Doverspike’s probation officer seized his cell phone on May 10, 2023, during a home visit as part of the conditions of his supervised release. The officer discovered multiple images and videos of pornography, including computer-generated images and videos of child pornography, and transferred the phone to Homeland Security Investigations for examination. A task force officer examined the microSD storage device from the phone which contained 255 computer-generated image files that depicted child sexual abuse.
Doverspike was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison without parole and 15 years of supervised release following incarceration.
