Christopher Creamer, 40, of Urbana, pleaded guilty on July 15 in U.S. District Court to distributing child pornography.
The plea agreement recommends a sentence ranging from 60 to 210 months in prison. According to court documents, from June to August 2025, Creamer communicated online with an individual he believed was a Telegram user but who was actually an FBI agent. Creamer admitted to sending two images and sixteen videos of child pornography and discussed his interest in the sexual abuse of children.
A search of Creamer’s electronic devices led agents to discover more than 3,000 images and 130 videos depicting child pornography. These included material showing the sexual abuse of infants and toddlers as well as sadomasochistic abuse. Creamer was arrested and charged by federal criminal complaint in March 2026.
Sentencing will be determined by the Court at a future hearing, based on advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
Dominick S. Gerace II, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Jason Cromartie, Special Agent in Charge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Cincinnati Division, announced the guilty plea entered before Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Rose. Assistant United States Attorney Christina E. Mahy is representing the United States in this case.
This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 aimed at combating child sexual exploitation and abuse through coordination among federal, state, and local resources.
