Gulfport, Mississippi. - Kristopher Michael Brumfield, 39, of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was sentenced on Aug. 24, 2017, by Chief U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola, Jr., to 120 months in federal prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release for accessing with intent to view child pornography, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Harold Brittain and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent in Charge Raymond R. Parmer, Jr.
In addition to the prison term, Brumfield was ordered to pay a fine of $15,000 and a $5,000 special assessment under the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015.
In August, 2014, HSI identified three user profiles contained within a foreign photo sharing website which contained child pornography. The HSI investigation that followed identified Brumfield as the individual who knowingly accessed the website and viewed the uploaded images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. It was further determined that via email, Brumfield corresponded with other users of the website, and subsequently traded numerous videos of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct via his email accounts.
This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrea Jones and Glenda Haynes.
