United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Ronald Boersma, 38, of Brewer, Maine, has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in a gritty U.S. District Court proceeding.
The grim revelation came as court records detailed how in February 2016, law enforcement utilized a peer-to-peer file sharing program to download explicit images from Boersma’s home computer. A subsequent search warrant at his residence unearthed additional pornographic material.
During the interview, Boersma confessed to seeking and downloading sexually explicit content targeting females between the ages of 8 and 10. The gravity of his actions is not lost on law enforcement and the justice system, as he now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Andrew McCormack, Assistant United States Attorney, emphasized that Boersma’s sentence will be determined after completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.
This harrowing case has been meticulously investigated by the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit and the U.S. Secret Service, ensuring that justice is served for the vulnerable victims involved.
