Manchester Man Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography Possession

CONCORD, N.H.: Allan Yianakopolos, 49, of Manchester, has admitted to a heinous crime by pleading guilty in federal court. The 49-year-old faces severe consequences for his possession of child pornography, as revealed by United States Attorney Emily Gray Rice.

The investigation that led to Yianakopolos’s downfall was a joint effort between the New Hampshire Crimes Against Children Task Force and multiple law enforcement agencies. Their diligence resulted in the seizure of electronic devices from Yianakopolos’s residence, where they discovered a shocking collection of child pornography images and videos.

Scheduled for May 10, 2017, sentencing will mark the culmination of this disturbing case. The Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood initiative has been instrumental in combating online exploitation and abuse, providing valuable resources to law enforcement for locating and prosecuting such offenders.

Project Safe Childhood was launched in February 2006 and continues to be a crucial weapon in the fight against child predators. For more information on this vital program, visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

The case against Yianakopolos was investigated by the New Hampshire Crimes Against Children Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations Manchester, and local police departments in Manchester and Bedford. Assistant United States Attorney Georgiana Konesky is prosecuting this case with unwavering determination.

As the justice system moves forward with Yianakopolos’s sentencing, it serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against child exploitation in the digital age.
