US Atty Jeanine Pirro exposes child psychologist who encouraged child sexual exploitation, collected and shared sex abuse images

In a June 15 post on X, US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro detailed the crimes of convicted child predator Victor Blythe, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in connection with his possession of 300 videos and 23,000 still images of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

“Victor Blythe spent years hiding behind his credentials as a psychotherapist to gain the trust of vulnerable children, all while secretly collecting and trading the most exploitative images imaginable,” she wrote. “He didn't just collect thousands of images of children being sexually abused; he encouraged others to exploit children. No sentence can undo the harm he caused, but this one ensures he is held accountable. We will continue to pursue anyone who preys on children with every tool we have.”

Pirro's comments on Blythe reflect the tough-on-crime approach that has defined her tenure as US attorney. Since taking office, she has emphasized aggressive prosecution of violent offenders, child predators, and those who exploit vulnerable victims. Blythe's 10-year sentence serves as an example of that strategy in action.

Pirro, who was appointed interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia on May 14, 2025, was subsequently confirmed by the US Senate and officially assumed the permanent position on August 2, 2025.

Her time in office has been marked by a dedication to fighting crime in the nation's capital, a commitment she reaffirmed in press remarks earlier this year.

“When President Trump assigned me to this office in May of last year, we knew there was a lot of work to do in fighting crime here in DC," Pirro said. “The crime rate here is one of the worst in the country and we need to work swiftly and aggressively to turn things around for the better. Because of the President’s push and my office’s intentional efforts, we have now seen a huge downturn in the crime statistics in just a short period of time. There is a lot of work to do, but we are up to the task and making tremendous progress.”
