USA, Sept., 12, 2016. Timothy Ryan Zollman, (31) of Van Wert, Iowa, has been sentenced to 120 years in federal prison by District Court Judge Robert W. Pratt, for production of child pornography, United States Attorney Kevin E. VanderSchel has announced. It will be followed by supervised release.
According to evidence presented to the court, Zollman sexually assaulted and exploited ten prepubescent girls and video recorded the assaults.
Zollman’s sentence was enhanced because he committed these crimes while he was listed on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry for a prior conviction.
“The evidence in this case showed Timothy Zollman is a dangerous predator,” said United States Attorney Kevin E. VanderSchel. “He was brought to justice because one of his victims, a young girl, was brave enough to report his criminal actions. The significant term of incarceration Zollman will serve is appropriate and necessary to protect the public and other potential victims.”
