DAVENPORT, IA- On May 1, 2015, Ian Dishon David Isabel, age 30, formerly of
Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge James E. Gritzner to
360 months in prison, after pleading guilty to production of child pornography, announced
United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. Isabel was also ordered to serve 10 years of
supervised release following his term of imprisonment, and to pay $100 towards the Crime
Victims Fund. Isabel will also be required to register as a sex offender.
On April 2, 2014, a custodian at Hayes Elementary School discovered what was later
determined to be a hidden camera in the girls' bathroom. The school principal and the
Davenport Police Department were notified of the discovery. Isabel was the coordinator of the
Stepping Stones after-school program at Hayes Elementary, and was working during the time the
custodian found the hidden device. A search by a Davenport police detective found additional
hidden devices in the same bathroom. Isabel became aware of the investigation, and fled from
the school, claiming illness. The United States Secret Service, Cyber-Crimes Unit, also became
involved in the investigation. Items were seized from a subsequent search of Isabel's residence
and a storage unit. Isabel fled and was later arrested on April 11th at a state park in Adams
County, Illinois. Additional items were seized from Isabel's vehicle. A subsequent forensic
examination of the computer equipment and storage devices seized found over 100 separate
images of children from Hayes Elementary captured during a time period of December 29, 2013
to April 2, 2014. Images found also showed a subject identifiable as Isabel placing the hidden
cameras in the bathrooms.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service Cyber-Crimes Task Force,
the Davenport, Iowa, Police Department and the Adams County, Illinois Conservation Office.
The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
Iowa.
