Jason Littlehale, Possession of Child Pornography, Maine 2012

Andover Man Sentenced to 6 Years for Possession of Child Pornography

A 42-year-old man from Andover, Maine, has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for his involvement in the possession of child pornography. Jason Littlehale, who resides in Andover, was found guilty of possessing thousands of images and videos of child pornography.

According to court documents, law enforcement obtained information in March 2012 that Littlehale was sharing images of child pornography over the internet from his workplace in Mexico, Maine. Agents met with Littlehale at his home in Andover and conducted a forensic examination of his computers and computer equipment.

The examination revealed thousands of child pornography images and videos, leading to Littlehale's arrest and subsequent sentencing. The investigation was a collaborative effort between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit.

Littlehale pleaded guilty on September 30, 2013, and was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court by Judge Nancy Torresen. The sentence includes 6 years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release.

Andrew McCormack, Assistant United States Attorney, can be contacted for further information at (207) 945-0373. The case serves as a reminder of the severity of child pornography crimes and the importance of continued efforts to combat this issue.

As the investigation and sentencing of Jason Littlehale demonstrate, child pornography is a serious offense that carries severe consequences. It is essential for individuals to report any suspicious activity and for law enforcement to continue working together to bring those responsible to justice.
