Bangor, Maine: Acting United States Attorney Richard W. Murphy announced that Steven Strang, Jr., 38, of Athens, Maine, was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court by Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. to 6 years in prison and 10 years of supervised release for possession of child pornography. Strang pled guilty on May 6, 2016.
According to court records, from about June 15, 2015 to about 20 August, 2015, Strang possessed dozens of video files depicting child pornography. Many of these videos, which he had purposely sought out and downloaded from the internet, depicted the sexual exploitation of prepubescent children under the age of 12.
The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit.
