CHARLES F. HALL, Possession of Child Pornography, Louisiana 2018

A 61-year-old New Orleans man has been sentenced to 50 months in prison for possession of child pornography.

CHARLES F. HALL, entered the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) offices located on the fifth floor of 400 Poydras Street, in New Orleans, Louisiana, on April 12, 2018. As part of the security screening process, HALL was instructed to take all metal items out of his pockets prior to passing through the magnetometer, and when he accessed his cellular phone to silence it, the screen lit up and displayed an image depicting the sexual victimization of a prepubescent child.

A subsequent computer forensic search of HALL’s phone revealed he was in possession of 195 images and two videos of child pornography. HALL was taken into custody by officers with the Federal Protective Service, Louisiana Bureau of Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations.

U.S. Attorney Peter G. Strasser praised the work of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service, Paragon Systems Incorporated Protective Security Officers, and the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation in investigating this matter. The prosecution of this case is being handled by Project Safe Childhood Coordinator and Financial Crimes Unit Supervisor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian M. Klebba.

CHARLES F. HALL was sentenced to 50 months by United States District Judge Sarah S. Vance. HALL was also sentenced to a period of seven (7) years of supervised release after his term of imprisonment. Judge Vance also ordered HALL to register as a sex offender pursuant to the Sex Offender Registration Notification Act.

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.
