The Mill Creek man convicted of storing child pornography in a Snoqualmie forest tree house was sentenced to nine months in jail last week.

Daniel Mason Wood, 57, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree possession of child pornography and one count of second-degree attempted viewing of child pornography on Nov. 20. Wood initially pleaded not guilty to similar charges on March 27 after a lengthy investigation.

The King County Superior Court judge sentenced him on Dec. 7 to the higher end of the state’s standard sentencing range.

Wood kept framed pictures of young girls 8-12 years old posing as fairies in an illegally built cabin eight miles up Southeast Middle Fork Road in the Snoqualmie National Forest. The land is federally owned and the investigation began in 2016 after a Department of Natural Resources employee reported the cabin to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

The employee and detective found an envelope that contained more images of naked children within the cabin. The FBI conducted a search of the cabin in early April 2017, confiscated the images and discovered latent finger prints and DNA samples.

A search and rescue volunteer told the FBI that he’d seen a Toyota FJ Cruiser with a specific license plate number he revealed to detectives. That led detectives to Wood, who was later matched to the DNA found on the seen.

Detectives searched Wood’s home in February of this year and seized “several digital items,” eventually discovering thousands of graphic “child erotica and child pornography.”
