Robert Goguen, Possessing Images of Child Sexual Exploitation, Maine 2017

Robert Goguen, 46, was sentenced to a total of 16 years in prison—14 years for possessing images of child sexual exploitation, and two years for violating the conditions of supervised release.

According to court records, on November 10, 2015, U.S. probation officers went to Goguen’s apartment in Bangor and seized a laptop computer. A forensic search of the computer revealed images and videos of child sexual exploitation that Goguen had downloaded and saved.

At the time, Goguen was on federal supervised release following a 2012 conviction for failing to register as a sex offender.

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. also sentenced Goguen to 20 years of supervised release following his term of imprisonment. Goguen pleaded guilty and admitted the supervised release violation on September 15, 2017.

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Bangor Police Department.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006.
