Bangor, Maine: United States Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced that Darin Doe, 41, of Waterville, Maine, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court by Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. to 10 years in prison and 10 years of supervised release for possession of child pornography. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution. Doe pled guilty on July 12, 2017.
According to court records, on about November 4, 2015, Doe possessed over 7,000 computer files depicting images of child pornography. Many of these images, which he had purposely sought out and downloaded from the Internet, depicted the sexual exploitation of prepubescent girls under the age of 12. Doe was subject to a mandatory-minimum prison term of 10 years because of his 2002 federal conviction for receiving child pornography.
The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit.
