BREAKING: William Day, a 59-year-old Albuquerque man, has been sentenced to 60 months in prison following an investigation into child pornography.
According to court documents, in 2017, the New Mexico authorities initiated an investigation into an IP address registered to Day’s residence, which was suspected of sharing child pornography on a Peer-to-Peer network.
On May 31, 2017, officers from the Albuquerque Police Department executed a search warrant at Day’s residence and seized several devices, including a Lenovo laptop and an HP laptop, both of which were found to contain images and videos depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including prepubescent minors.
During the execution of the warrant, Day was interviewed and admitted to downloading files containing images of nude underage girls on March 31, 2017.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, led by Alexander M.M. Uballez, announced the sentencing today, citing the severity of the crime and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions.
Upon his release from prison, Day will be subject to five years of supervised release and must register as a sex offender, as per the terms of the plea agreement.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
