New Hampshire Man Sentenced for Child Exploitation Offense
A Keene man has been sentenced to 36 months of imprisonment for possessing child sexual abuse material, announced U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan.
Connor Mueller, 31, had previously pleaded guilty to possessing child sexual abuse material. In 2023, an undercover law enforcement operation identified Mueller as using specialized peer-to-peer software to receive videos containing child sexual abuse material. The same software allowed other users to access materials shared by Mueller.
Law enforcement subsequently searched Mueller’s home and discovered multiple devices which together contained numerous images and videos depicting child sexual abuse.
The case was led by Homeland Security Investigations, with valuable assistance provided by the New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Keene Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Vicinanzo prosecuted the case.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. In 2006, the government created Project Safe Childhood, a program that marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.
Connor Mueller, a 31-year-old man from Keene, New Hampshire, was sentenced to 36 months of imprisonment and 5 years of supervised release for possessing child sexual abuse material.
