A Youngstown man serving a 37-year federal prison term for photographing himself sexually assaulting two young girls has been brought back to the Valley to face local charges.

Daniel Fleischer, 39, has been transferred from a federal prison in Virginia to the Mahoning County jail where he awaits a hearing in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on two counts of rape and five counts of gross sexual imposition.

The latest indictment alleges Fleischer raped a child who was nine years old. The alleged crimes took place on several occasions between 2010 and 2014. The alleged victim is now 20 years old.

The Mahoning County Grand Jury handed up an indictment against Fleischer in July, two years being sentenced by a U.S. District Judge following his guilty plea to charges of receiving pictures of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct and sexual exploitation of children.

According to the earlier federal indictment, Fleischer photographed himself as he sexually assaulted a child, in June 2011, and did the same with another child in December 2013.

Fleischer was also accused of receiving and distributing several images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, taking place between December of 2017 and March of 2018.

The charges follow a raid by state and federal agents on Fleischer's Brownlee Woods Weston Avenue home in March of 2018 that agents say turned up a phone and two thumb drives containing child pornography.

According to an affidavit filed by a BCI agent, authorities began their investigation after becoming aware of child pornography videos being sharked through the KIK social media platform.

Investigators say the videos showed nude and half-nude girls ranging in age from five to 14-years-old.

Fleischer is not scheduled to complete his federal sentence until 2050.
