The ex-husband named as a person of interest in the disappearance of an Ashtabula woman who was later found dead has been indicted in federal court on child pornography charges, according to authorities.
Jeffery A. Stanley, 27, was indicted on one count of receipt of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and one count of possession of child pornography, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Authorities allege that between Sept. 4, 2016 and Feb. 22, 2017, Stanley knowingly received numerous images of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. On Feb. 22, Stanley possessed a cell phone that contained child pornography, according to the indictment.
If convicted, Stanley’s sentence will be determined by the court after a review of factors in the case, including his prior criminal record, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation, the release states.
Stanley was named a person of interest in the disappearance of his ex-wife, Rand Al Dulaimi, after she was reported missing on July 11. He was arrested on July 14 on an unrelated parole violation. Al Dulaimi’s body was found on July 24.
In March of 2017, an Amber Alert was issued and later canceled after authorities said Stanley abducted his and Al Dulaimi’s son. Court records show Stanley was convicted on charges of trespassing and endangering children in 2017. Stanley was ordered to have no contact with Al Dulaimi or their son as part of his probation agreement.
Stanley is currently being held in the Ashtabula County Jail.
