Mike Herrington, special agent in charge of the FBI Seattle field office, said in the release. &ldquo;Despite already being registered as a sex offender, he continued to prey on young victims online. Each one of the dozens of videos and hundreds of images of child sexual abuse on Mr. Fiore&rsquo;s devices contributes to the trauma and suffering of an innocent young victim.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We hope this case sends a message to would-be predators that there are consequences for their actions. Law enforcement will discover their conduct and hold them accountable.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>Ian Davis-Leonard: 425-339-3097; <a href=\"mailto:ian.davis-leonard@heraldnet.com\" target=\"_blank\">ian.davis-leonard@heraldnet.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 55-year-old man was already registered as a sex offender when he was arrested again, the Department of Justice said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":470,"featured_media":897418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1024],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-897417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-top-news"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/heraldnet.com\/2026\/05\/14\/marysville-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-images\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Marysville man sentenced to 3 years for possession of child sex abuse images","url":"http:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/2026\/05\/14\/marysville-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-images\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/2026\/05\/14\/marysville-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-images\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/05\/42320569_web1_S-Marysville-Logo-EDH-220118.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/05\/42320569_web1_S-Marysville-Logo-EDH-220118.jpg"},"articleSection":"Local News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ian Davis-Leonard"}],"creator":["Ian Davis-Leonard"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"HeraldNet.com","logo":""},"keywords":[],"dateCreated":"2026-05-14T08:30:00Z","datePublished":"2026-05-14T08:30:00Z","dateModified":"2026-05-14T21:41:50Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Marysville man sentenced to 3 years for possession of child sex abuse images\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.heraldnet.com\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/14\\\/marysville-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-images\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.heraldnet.com\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/14\\\/marysville-man-sentenced-to-3-years-for-possession-of-child-sex-abuse-images\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heraldnet.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/8\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/42320569_web1_S-Marysville-Logo-EDH-220118.jpg?w=150&h=150&crop=1\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heraldnet.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/8\\\/2026\\\/05\\\/42320569_web1_S-Marysville-Logo-EDH-220118.jpg\"},\"articleSection\":\"Local News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ian Davis-Leonard\"}],\"creator\":[\"Ian Davis-Leonard\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"HeraldNet.com\",\"logo\":\"\"},\"keywords\":[],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-05-14T08:30:00Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-05-14T08:30:00Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-05-14T21:41:50Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/heraldnet.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/470"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897417"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897419,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897417\/revisions\/897419"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
