Beau Christopher Benson, a 36-year-old former admissions counselor at Northeastern University, has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for possessing child pornography. He was found guilty of receiving child sexual abuse material through Zoom chat rooms, where he recorded and saved footage of illegal content featuring victims aged 2 to 4 years. Following his sentence, Benson will serve an additional five years of supervised release. His case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a national initiative aimed at addressing child sexual exploitation and supporting the rescue of victims.
Investigators discovered that Benson participated in Zoom video chat rooms sharing child sexual abuse material, recording conversations and videos that included graphic content.
The U.S. Attorney's Office emphasized that cases like Benson's are part of a broader initiative, Project Safe Childhood, to combat child exploitation nationwide.
