Greenbelt, Maryland – In a shocking turn of events, convicted sex offender Christopher Lee Dubry, 25, of La Plata, Maryland, has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography while serving his prison sentence.
According to the guilty plea, Dubry was convicted of four counts of attempted sex offense fourth degree and five counts of possession of child pornography in November 2018. He was sentenced to a total of three years in prison, followed by five years of supervised probation. Dubry was also registered as a Tier I registered sex offender in the State of Maryland.
The guilty plea was announced by Acting United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Jonathan F. Lenzner; Special Agent in Charge James R. Mancuso of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Baltimore; and Colonel Woodrow W. Jones III, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police.
As detailed in his plea agreement, Dubry was granted work release beginning in December 2018. He typically left the detention center each evening at 8:00 p.m. and drove his personal vehicle to his place of employment in Landover, Maryland, where he worked overnight, then returned to the detention center at approximately 5:00 a.m.
On August 26, 2019, an online file storage application sent a cybertipline report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The report stated that the user account associated with Dubry’s email address uploaded eleven files to the account, including two video files depicting sexual abuse of prepubescent children. The IP address used to access the user account four times on February 14, 2019 between 9:08 p.m. and 9:10 p.m. related back to a cell phone registered to Dubry.
On February 27, 2020, law enforcement seized Dubry’s cell phone. A subsequent forensic analysis of the cell phone revealed approximately 250 images and 3 videos of child pornography, including the sexual abuse of prepubescent children. At least one video depicts sadistic or masochistic conduct. In total, Dubry received and possessed the equivalent of 600 images of child pornography on his cell phone.
Under the terms of his plea agreement, Dubry will be sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Upon his release from prison, Dubry will also be required to register as a sex offender in the places where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). U.S. District Judge George J. Hazel has scheduled sentencing for June 8, 2021 at 2:00 p.m.
