CHICAGO A judge on Tuesday sentenced a Park Ridge native who admitted blackmailing girls over the internet to produce videos and images of child sexual exploitation to 27 years in federal prison.
David J. Cottrell Jr., 31, who most recently lived with his mother in Niles, pleaded guilty last year and has been awaiting sentencing ever since. His sentence falls about halfway between the mandatory minimum and federal sentencing guidelines, which in this case is the most permitted by law, according to court records.
Niles man gets 27-year sentence for extorting porn from teen girl
By AP NEWS
CHICAGO - A 27-year prison sentence was handed down Tuesday to a former New York University law student who pleaded guilty to extorting child pornography from a teenage girl by threatening to humiliate and shame her online.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman acceded to federal prosecutors’ requests that David J. Cottrell, 31, receive a lengthy sentence. Cottrell’s attorneys asked for a 15-year sentence, insisting their client needs treatment for pedophilia, depression, substance abuse and other mental health issues.
Cottrell, who most recently lived in Niles, Illinois, pleaded guilty in March 2020 to sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography. Cottrell was in law school when he first made contact with his seventh-grade victim on a free online chat website in 2014.

A federal judge handed a nearly three-decade prison sentence Tuesday to a onetime New York University law school student raised in Park Ridge who spent years extorting child pornography from a teenage girl by threatening to humiliate and shame her online.
The girl’s father has said his “knees buckled” when he learned his “daughter was being tortured and blackmailed and controlled inside her own home” by David J. Cottrell.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman sentenced Cottrell Tuesday to 27 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. In doing so, he granted a request from prosecutors, who said Cottrell also demanded child pornography from other minors, even after he learned he was under investigation.
