CEDAR RAPIDS — A man who distributed, received, and possessed child pornography was sentenced Wednesday to more than 10 years in federal prison, according to a press release. Jordan Michael Million, 26, formerly from Marshalltown, received the prison term after a Nov. 14, 2025, guilty plea to one count of receipt of child pornography.

Evidence at sentencing showed that in 2024, Million was working in Independence and Manchester as a traveling nursing assistant. In December 2024, law enforcement officers searched his home in Independence and took electronic devices. In total, between April 2024 and December 2024, Million received and possessed over 800 images and videos of child pornography, including of sadistic and masochistic conduct. A search of Million’s Kik account also showed that in 2021, when he lived in Marshalltown, he distributed child pornography to another person.

Million was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge C.J. Williams. Million will serve 121 months’ imprisonment and was ordered to make $6,000 in restitution to victims. He must also serve a five-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Million is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Devra T. Hake and investigated by the Marshalltown Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, the Independence Police Department, and the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Office.
