Man local police caught soliciting sentenced to prison

Wayland City Police have announced the sentencing of David Milliner of Philadelphia, who was accused of and pleaded guilty to soliciting a 12-year-old Wayland boy three and a half years ago.

Local authorities learned that sexually explicit material had been found on the 12-year-old’s school-issued iPad. The boy’s mother said her son had been communicating with someone who claimed to be a rich young prince named Daniel De’Rothschild living in Beverly Hills, Calif. The fake prince turned out to be an unemployed 50-year-old from Philadelphia who asked for and received explicit photos and videos from the 12-year-old.

Using FBI software, Wayland Police Officer Mark Riemersma traced the man’s Instagram account to Milliner and contacted Philadelphia Police.

When Philadelphia Police arrived to execute a search warrant of Milliner’s home, they found him video chatting with a boy under 10 years old. Milliner claimed he was “watching a movie.”

Riemersma said police discovered he lived near an elementary school.

Police found more photos of child pornography after seizing Milliner’s electronics and referred the case to the FBI. More than 1,000 child pornography photos were discovered on his iPhone. Some of his victims were as young as 8 years old.

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison on 15 of the 16 federal felony counts and 10 years on the remaining charge. Upon release he will undergo 10 years of supervised release.

      To The Citizens,

      Who is supporting “defunding” the Wayland Police Department?

      List a few names of Wayland residents and/or members of the Wayland City Council who are supporting “defunding” the local PD if this is fact. Not “Well, some people” or some other generality, name some names of people who have gone on record to reduce the Wayland PD’s budget.

    Kudos to the Wayland PD! Good work cleaning up our streets!
