A Navy Petty Officer was charged with possession and distribution of large quantities of child pornography based on evidence found on his personal computer as well as a subsequent multi-hour recorded confession to NCIS.
Mr. Bilecki was retained as an Article 134, UCMJ child pornography defense attorney in this matter to do damage control and obtain the best result possible for the Sailor. The government initially sought a plea agreement for 5 years confinement, which we did not agree to. We then secured the services of a digital forensic consultant to review the digital evidence against our client and based on that analysis, found extenuating and mitigating evidence which we used to negotiate a plea agreement with a lower sentence.
After several months of litigation, we were able to negotiate a plea agreement for our client which limited his sentence to 12 months confinement.
