A man from Martin County, North Carolina, Alexander Madison Chambers, was sentenced to over 16 years in prison (201 months) for the distribution of child pornography. Following his prison term, he will face 30 years of supervised release. This sentence was handed down in New Bern, North Carolina.
The Department of Homeland Security investigated Chambers. An undercover agent discovered that Chambers was sharing child sexual abuse material in a group chat on a messaging application. During private communications, Chambers admitted to sexually abusing a child he knew and expressed a desire to abuse what he believed to be an undercover agent’s 4-year-old child.
Following the investigation, a search warrant was executed at Chambers' Williamston residence, resulting in the seizure of multiple devices. These devices contained images and videos of child pornography. Additionally, investigators found evidence of a messaging app used for trading such materials, including conversations where Chambers distributed this material to an undercover agent and other users.
Cardell T. Morant, Special Agent in Charge of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Charlotte, which oversees North and South Carolina, stated, "The sentencing of this individual should serve as a clear message: HSI and our law enforcement partners remain steadfast in our commitment to protecting children and bringing to justice those who exploit them. There is no place in our communities for those who traffic in child sexual abuse material. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to identify offenders, hold them accountable, and safeguard the most vulnerable members of our society."
This announcement was made by Daniel P. Bubar, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, following the sentencing by U.S. District Judge Louise W. Flanagan. The Department of Homeland Security led the investigation and Assistant U.S. Attorney Charity Wilson prosecuted the case.
