Kevin Dial from Decatur was sentenced to 50 years in prison for his crimes involving the sexual exploitation of minors.

The presiding U.S. District Court Judge characterized Dial's conduct as 'horrific' and particularly severe.

The FBI, collaborating with the Philippine National Police, conducted a thorough investigation that led to Dial's substantial sentencing.

Evidence showed Dial orchestrated the sexual abuse of three children and had these acts recorded.

A victim's statement highlighted the enduring trauma caused by Dial's actions.

Dial's charges could have led to 15 to 30 years per count of sexual exploitation and up to 20 years for child pornography charges, with sentences to run consecutively.

U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Harris stated the conviction underscores the government's dedication to protecting the vulnerable and prosecuting those who harm them.
