Claremont Man Sentenced for Child Porn
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – A Claremont man has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for his role in a child pornography ring, announced United States Attorney Emily Gray Rice.
James Bednarcyk, 28, pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child pornography, according to court documents. In April 2014, an undercover investigation determined that child pornography images were being shared on the Internet from Bednarcyk’s residence in Claremont.
A search warrant for the residence was executed in September 2014, during which Bednarcyk’s personal computer was seized. That computer was later determined to contain approximately 20 videos and 70 still images of child pornography, officials said.
The case was investigated by the Vermont Attorney General’s Office and the Hampton, New Hampshire Police Department, in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Manchester, the New Hampshire Crimes Against Children Task Force (NH ICAC), and the police departments of Claremont, Portsmouth, Nashua, and Rochester, New Hampshire.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nick Abramson.
In related news, the federal government has been working to combat child pornography through its Project Safe Childhood initiative, launched in February 2006. The program aims to protect children from online exploitation and abuse by marshaling federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet.
