Novi Man Sentenced to 60 years in Prison for Sexual Exploitation of Children

DETROIT - A Novi man was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison today for sexually exploiting multiple children, United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison announced.

Ison was joined in the announcement by Angie Salazar, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

United States District Judge Gershwin A. Drain sentenced Glenn Dennison, 33, of Novi, Michigan.

Dennison pleaded guilty to filming himself violently sexually assaulting three minor children who were all under the age of 10 years old on April 10, 2024. The youngest was just two years old when the abuse started. Dennison's sexual assaults came to light in 2022 when he posted images of child sexual abuse material on a public website. During a search warrant at Dennison's Novi home in July 2022, HSI agents found his cellphone, which contained multiple files of Dennison's horrific sexual abuse of the three children.

"This defendant was caregiver and preyed on the vulnerable children in his care. Our commitment to protecting children in our community and bringing to justice those who abuse them is unwavering. This sentence underscores that commitment, " stated U.S. Attorney Ison.

"Child rapists can manipulate their way into children's lives and this perpetrator was convicted for monstrous acts against children in his care," said HSI Detroit Special Agent in Charge Angie M. Salazar. "We will never stop protecting and serving our community and seeking justice for victims. That being said these cases that prey upon innocent children are among the most difficult to investigate. I am ever grateful to our team for the work they do and I want to bring attention to the fact that these crimes tend to be hidden in plain sight. If you have information on suspected child exploitation, please report it to our tipline at 1-877-4-HSI-TIP."

This case was investigated by HSI and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Christopher Rawsthorne and Diane Princ.
