Former Missouri School Resource Officer Gets 9 Years for Receipt of Child Sexual Abuse Material
Darrin Marshall Skinner, 52, of Mack’s Creek, Missouri, received a nine-year prison sentence followed by 10 years of supervised release after his conviction for receipt of child sexual abuse material. The sentence triggers mandatory sex-offender registration and restricts his future access to minors and schools.
680news.comDarrin Marshall Skinner, 52, of Mack’s Creek, Mo., was sentenced May 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri to nine years in federal prison followed by 10 years of supervised release for receipt of child sexual abuse material.
The former school resource officer pleaded guilty to the charge, which involved knowing receipt of images and videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Federal sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimums for such offenses drove the term, per the Department of Justice announcement.
The conviction directly affects Skinner’s status: he must register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act upon release. The 10-year supervised-release term imposes strict limits on internet use, proximity to schools, and contact with anyone under 18. The nine-year term begins immediately; release is projected for 2035 absent good-time reductions.
Downstream, the Bureau of Prisons must designate an appropriate facility equipped for sex-offender programming. After release, the U.S. Probation Office will monitor compliance with computer restrictions and polygraph requirements common in CSAM cases.
The sentence also bars Skinner from possessing firearms for life under federal law and triggers forfeiture of any devices used in the offense. Local school districts in the Mack’s Creek area must now update background-check protocols to reflect the conviction of a former on-site officer.
This case is the latest federal prosecution of a school-based employee for child sexual abuse material offenses. The Department of Justice has pursued similar charges against law-enforcement and education personnel in multiple districts in recent years under 18 U.S.C. § 2252.
