StumbleHenderson man gets 17 years in child porn case
Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010 | 3:50 p.m.
A Henderson man has been sentenced to 17 1/2 years in federal prison after child pornography was found in his home.
Mark Chanley, 51, was convicted in May of receipt of child pornography and sentenced Tuesday by Senior U.S. District Judge Lloyd D. George, the Department of Justice said.
In May 2007, Henderson police recovered 512 images and 22 videos of child pornography — most of which was produced in Russia — on Chanley’s computers and compact discs at his Henderson home.
Henderson Police executed a search warrant at Chanley’s home after he sent multiple letters and pictures of young boys wearing little clothing to an inmate in a Colorado correctional facility in March, 2007, authorities said. Using the name “Marco Donaonelli Cianciulli,” Chanley told the inmate in his letters that he found the pictures online and asked the inmate if he wanted him to “download something” for him.
Chaney was an inmate in the same correctional facility and had been released two months earlier, officials said.
Authorities said Chanley also has a prior conviction in Colorado for sexual assault of a 14-year-old boy and was subject to a 15-year minimum mandatory sentence under federal law.

OMG how sick and disturbing. This is sick,messed up and wrong on so many levels. I hope he gets raped in prison and tortured. I am glad he got arrested to bad the people who were behind making the porn cant get in trouble. I seriously wish they would.
Sun do you know when that conviction was from Colorado? Why was this guy even free in 2007 to begin with? Seems like this monster should have been locked away for quite a long time. Hope he gets his in federal pound him in the rear prison daily. Kinda eye for eye, have fun!

How could he be a well know Republican and was released from a Colorado prison in January of 2007. He was back in jail in Nevada in May of 2007. Don't drop the soap!
@TonyCrago Since he is such a "well-known Republican" active in local politics, could you give some examples? These may be people and places we want to look into. He is after all on the Sexual Offenders Register and has been since he arrived. The guy is a real creep...
I, who have never been arrested, am a "not so well-known" Republican, (Not Tea Party, mind you)so I'm kind of wondering who this creep was affiliated with.
j/k Tony. This monster was out of prison for a total of 5 months in 2007. He has NOT been active in any politics, Republican or Democrat.
Why would you throw politics into a story that has no gain or loss in the political arena? Just more twisting of facts to try and save Harry Reid. I was actually going to vote for Reid, as I am not Tea Party and Angle was not my candidate of choice. It is people like you Tony, who are pushing more and more of us away from Harry by acting like blathering idiots. If you have to tear down the competition in order to overcome, that just makes you lower to begin with.

@maukflauk Thanks for not being Tea Party. Its good to hear there still are some sane Republicans out there. Those extremest tea baggers aren't doing your party any good.
WTF does politics have to do with this waste of life that they reported on.... Some people just dont get it,, like this chester that should have been shot already....Makes me think that some of you are chesters since your diverting what the whole story is about...
@asleep My point exactly but Tony sure was quick to bring it up...
This guy should be put in General Population. I hear that they weed them out in there...
