Jury convicts Austintown man of sexually exploiting children
After a three day long trial in federal court, an Austintown man has been convicted of sexual exploitation of children and receiving pictures of children engaged in sexual conduct.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - After a three day long trial in federal court, an Austintown man has been convicted of sexual exploitation of children and receiving pictures of children engaged in sexual conduct.
The verdict was handed up Wednesday against 32-year-old Daniel Parker in the Cleveland courtroom of U.S. District Judge James Gwinn.
Parker, who is scheduled to be sentenced on September 16, received pictures and videos of children engaged in sex acts with adults from 32-year-old Candis Sue Wynn of Liberty Township.
Wynn pleaded guilty earlier to sexual exploitation of a minor, receipt and distribution of child pornography and possessing child pornography.
Wynn is scheduled to be sentenced on September 4.
According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, Wynn sent Parker a video of a child being sexually assaulted. The affidavit doesn't give the child's age but describes her as prepubescent.
Investigators say Wynn also sent Parker other pictures and videos of children engaged in sex acts with adults.
A special agent from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation says that Parker also sent pornographic videos to children to Wynn.
On January 8, Liberty Police searched Wynn's home, seizing her phone and other items.
Police used another search warrant later that month to confiscate two cell phones, a tablet and a sim card from Parker, who was at the Community Corrections Association halfway house on Market Street in Youngstown at the time.
State investigators say those who use child porn online are now getting caught more often thanks to computer companies like Google who are continually monitoring their products for these potential crimes.
In August, Wynn was sentenced to six months in jail for child endangering. According to police, Wynn left her two-year-old daughter home alone while she went to a store to buy liquor.
