Child Porn Kingpin Sentenced to 96 Months
Brad J. Case, a 30-year-old Baton Rouge man, will spend the next 96 months behind bars for his role in distributing child pornography. Case, who was found guilty of one count of distribution of child pornography, received a sentence that also includes 20 years of supervised release after his imprisonment.
The investigation into Case’s activities began on May 8, 2011, when he distributed 25 images of child pornography to an undercover Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through the internet using a peer-to-peer file sharing program. The FBI was able to trace the source of the child pornography to an apartment located in Baton Rouge and rented by Case.
On October 12, 2011, the FBI executed a search warrant at Case’s apartment and seized a computer belonging to Case. A forensic examination of Case’s computer revealed several hundred images and numerous videos depicting child pornography.
This matter was investigated by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Louisiana and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The matter was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Chris Dippel.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Brian A. Jackson presided over the sentencing hearing, which resulted in Case’s 96-month sentence. The sentencing is a significant blow to those who would seek to distribute and consume child pornography, and serves as a reminder of the severe consequences for those who engage in such heinous crimes.
This case highlights the importance of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and the courts in bringing those who commit these crimes to justice. It also serves as a reminder of the need for continued vigilance in the fight against child exploitation.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Louisiana and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are committed to protecting the citizens of this community from those who would seek to harm them. This conviction and sentencing are a testament to that commitment.
