Portland Man Sentenced to 40 Months for Possessing Child Pornography

A Portland man has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for possessing child pornography.

William Alfred Roscoe, 30, of Portland, Maine, was sentenced on [Date: June 23, 2015] in U.S. District Court by Judge Jon D. Levy.

Roscoe pleaded guilty to the charge on June 23, 2015. According to court records, in early 2015, federal agents were investigating the exchange of child pornography over the internet.

In April, as part of the investigation, agents took custody of a laptop computer located in the Portland apartment Roscoe shared with his girlfriend and her children.

Agents obtained a search warrant for the laptop. A forensic analysis revealed numerous still images and video files depicting children engaged in sexually explicit conduct, that a user of the laptop had searched for files using keywords commonly associated with child pornography and that numerous files with titles indicative of child pornography were in the process of being downloaded to the laptop over the internet at the time agents took custody of the laptop.

The investigation revealed that Roscoe knowingly possessed the laptop and knew that it contained child pornography.

The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Portland Police Department.
