A former teacher will spend the rest of his life in prison after receiving a 135-year sentence for crimes involving child sexual abuse materials and animal cruelty.
Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the sentence for David Robert McKeown, who worked at UBIC Academy during the commission of his crimes. An investigation by the Holly Hill Police Department, triggered by a tip from the platform Discord, revealed McKeown used the school’s Wi-Fi during operating hours to send and receive illicit content.
Authorities also recovered video evidence showing McKeown sexually abusing a family pet.
“The abuse and trauma this predator inflicted is sick, and he deserves every moment of this sentence,” Uthmeier said.
Circuit Judge A. Christian Miller formally designated McKeown as a sexual offender. In addition to the prison term, the judge ordered that McKeown be permanently barred from owning animals if ever released.
The conviction included 19 counts related to child pornography and six counts of sexual conduct with an animal.
