A Hagerstown man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possessing sexually explicit images of children.
Chad Christopher Langgle, age 30, of Hagerstown, Maryland, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Julie R. Rubin for possession of child pornography.
The sentence was announced by Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, and Special Agent in Charge Michael S. McCarthy, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
According to his guilty plea, in December 2022, Langgle emailed more than 50 videos containing child pornography, possessed images of child pornography on his cell phone, and had additional videos stored in his email account.
Langgle was previously convicted of sex abuse of a minor and second-degree assault on a minor in the Circuit Court for Calvert County, Maryland. Additionally, he was previously convicted of a second-degree sex offense in the Circuit Court for St. Mary’s County, Maryland.
This case was brought as 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 Barron commended HSI, the Maryland State Police, and the United States Marshals Service for their work in the investigation. Mr. Barron also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Reema Sood, who is prosecuting the case.
