A Washington man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes involving child pornography and cyberstalking that affected at least 61 minor victims. After serving his prison term, he will remain on supervised release for the rest of his life.
Court documents state that in January 2024, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) found someone uploading pornographic images of teenage minors online. HSI agents identified Kaden Ollila, 21, from Tacoma, Washington, as the person responsible. He used various usernames and profiles to upload and share these images on pornographic websites.
Investigators determined that between January and February 2024, Ollila contacted two adult victims through online platforms or text messages. The communications included videos or photos showing the adult victims engaged in sexual acts when they were about 14 years old. On one occasion, he also sent a victim sexually explicit images of at least two other minor females.
Ollila contacted victims using social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. He described sexual acts involving himself and others while viewing photos of the victims and harassed them by describing violent sexual fantasies.
According to court records, Ollila kept a large collection of child sexual abuse materials. This included altered nude images he created by combining the faces of adults and minors with other bodies.
His actions directly affected at least 61 minors from southeast Alaska—mainly Juneau—and northern California—mainly Redding. The investigation also found similar conduct affecting at least 95 more individuals, including both adults and minors.
Ollila was indicted on March 20, 2024, and pleaded guilty on November 7, 2024, to one count of distributing child pornography and two counts of cyberstalking. During sentencing, the court acknowledged statements from sixteen victims who spoke about their experiences.
“Kaden Ollila used technology to harass, stalk and terrorize victims across Alaska, California and elsewhere and reveled in the torture he caused. Now, he will spend 20 years behind bars—the statutory maximum penalty for the crimes he committed,” said U.S. Attorney Michael J. Heyman for the District of Alaska. “I want to thank the HSI investigators and our prosecutors for diligently seeking justice for the victims in this case by holding Mr. Ollila accountable for his disturbing conduct.”
HSI Acting Special Agent in Charge Colin Jackson commented: “HSI remains steadfast in its commitment to protecting children from predators who exploit technology to harm them,” adding that “Ollila targeted dozens of victims across multiple states, and thanks to the diligent efforts of our agents, he is now being held accountable for his actions.”
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations division. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Reed prosecuted it.
This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood—a Department of Justice initiative launched in May 2006 aimed at combating child sexual exploitation online by coordinating federal, state, and local resources to find offenders as well as identify victims (https://www.justice.gov/psc).
