Kevin Millette, Possessing Child Pornography, Maine 2015

Kevin Millette, a 43-year-old man from Alfred, Maine, has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, a federal crime.

According to court records, in November 2015, federal agents executed a search warrant at Millette's residence in Alfred. Millette was present, agreed to be interviewed, admitted that he had accessed child pornography recently using his phone and estimated that he had thousands of child pornography images on the phone.

Investigators seized three cell phones and a memory card from the residence. One of the phones was in the process of downloading child pornography images when it was seized. A forensic analysis of the phone and its memory card revealed thousands of digital still images depicting children engaging in sexually explicit conduct, as well as a smaller number of child pornography videos. Another memory card was also found to contain child pornography images.

Millette faces a sentence of between 10 and 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and between five years and life on supervised release. He faces enhanced penalties because he has a prior child pornography conviction.
