Auburn Man Sentenced to 97 Months in Federal Prison for Possessing Child Pornography
Montgomery, AL – In a shocking turn of events, an Auburn, Alabama man has been sentenced to 97 months in federal prison for possession of child pornography. According to sources, 33-year-old Maxime Tessier was found guilty of storing numerous images containing suspected child pornography on electronic devices.
Law enforcement received a tip in 2022 that images of child pornography were being shared online from an account linked to Tessier’s Auburn residence. On November 15, 2022, federal agents executed a search warrant at the location, seizing and examining various electronic devices belonging to Tessier.
Agents discovered that some of the images stored on the devices depicted children under the age of 12 in sexually explicit scenes. During his January 16, 2024 plea hearing, Tessier specifically admitted to possessing these disturbing images.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Auburn Police Department investigated the case, with Assistant United States Attorney Tara S. Ratz prosecuting the matter.
Tessier’s sentence includes 97 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system. This harsh sentence serves as a reminder of the severity of child pornography crimes and the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to protect our communities.
As a community, we must remain vigilant in reporting suspicious activity and supporting those affected by these heinous crimes. If you have any information, please contact your local authorities.
