Montana Man Pleads Guilty to Accessing Child Pornography
In a disturbing case of child exploitation, Rodney Royce Miller, a 60-year-old resident of Kalispell, Montana, has pleaded guilty to accessing with the intent to view child pornography.
The guilty plea was made during a federal court session in Missoula on May 7, 2013, before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy.
According to court documents, on September 21, 2012, a federal probation officer made contact with Miller in his van in Flathead County. The probation officer observed Miller looking at images of child pornography on his notebook computer.
Detectives from the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office subsequently obtained a search warrant for the notebook computer. When interviewed, Miller admitted he used the computer to view child pornography on the Internet.
When the notebook was forensically examined, image files, which included cache and non-cache files depicting child pornography, were located. The examiner also located cache records which were indicative of a user seeking child pornography.
Miller faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and could be sentenced to 20 years, a $250,000 fine, and lifetime supervision.
