Man offers ‘parent' child porn to sexually assault their kids, AZ officials say
A 20-year-old man is accused of offering to pay a 'parent' with child porn to sexually abuse their kids in Arizona, prosecutors said.
Christopher Delaney has been sentenced to 28 years in prison, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said in a June 20 news release.
Authorities began investigating Delaney in 2023 after prosecutors said he made comments on a dating app called Sniffies.
An undercover Chandler officer then emailed Delaney posing as a parent with a 7-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter, prosecutors said.
Delaney told the officer he would pay them with a flash drive of child pornography if he could drug the children, tie them up and sexually abuse them, officials said.
But he said the children needed to be brought to his home because he was wearing an ankle monitor, prosecutors said.
The undercover officer said he'd meet Delaney and showed up with the 'kids' in a van, officials said.
Delaney went to the driveway with a 'rape kit' that included 'zip ties, melatonin gummies, body oil, lotion, soda, whiskey and weed pens,' prosecutors said.
He also had a flash drive containing more than 100 files of child pornography, officials said.
Delaney pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a minor and was sentenced to prison.
Chandler is about a 25-mile drive southeast from downtown Phoenix.
