Baltimore, Maryland – A Pasadena man will spend the next decade and a half behind bars after being convicted of child sexual exploitation charges.
Andrew Joseph Stilling, Jr., 39, was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, followed by 30 years of supervised release, by U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett.
The sentence stems from a guilty plea in connection with Stilling’s participation in an online group where he and other adults shared a sexual interest in children.
In September 2024, Stilling secretly recorded a minor while they showered and went on to record videos of the minor over the following three months.
He then shared screenshots of the videos with others in the online group via the internet.
Law enforcement arrested Stilling and found him in possession of child sexual abuse material on his cellphone, including at least one image depicting a prepubescent minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes commended the FBI, Maryland State Police, Anne Arundel County Police, and the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office for their work in the investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Victoria Liu and Colleen Elizabeth McGuinn prosecuted the federal case.
