SALT LAKE CITY — A man who was previously convicted of sex crimes has been convicted again of possession of child sexual abuse material.

Daniel David Egli, 50, of South Jordan, was found guilty Friday by a federal jury on a possession charge from 2022. Egli was previously convicted in 2004 and 2010 of possession of child sexual abuse material, according to court documents.

According to prosecutors, Egli has violated the conditions of his supervised release multiple times. Most recently in 2021, his probation officer discovered he had an unauthorized laptop and smartphone during a routine check, the U.S. attorney's office said Monday.

Shortly after that violation, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was taken into custody. Officers found additional unauthorized electronic devices at his residence that revealed he had accessed, viewed and possessed almost 500 images of child sexual abuse material, the attorney's office said.

This led to the federal charge in June 2022 for which he was found guilty on Friday. His sentencing is scheduled for next February.
