CASE 2012-10 | PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII | US NAVY – SENIOR CHIEF
Senior Chief Secures 300-Day Confinement Cap in Child Pornography Case
October 2012
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
US Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer – E-8
Allegations: Possession of Child Pornography
After being caught in an online sting operation that targeted individuals downloading child pornography from the Internet, the Senior Chief fully confessed to law enforcement to downloading and possessing child pornography.
The Senior Chief's computer was seized and sent to the Defense Computer Forensic Laboratory for forensic review, a process that took nearly one year. The digital forensic examination confirmed that the computer was utilized to download and store child pornography and corroborated the prior confession.
With the confession corroborated by the computer examination, Tim Bilecki focused on limiting the sentence. He negotiated a pretrial agreement that capped confinement at 300 days.
Result: Negotiated a pre-trial agreement for 300 days confinement in a child pornography case.
Prior results do not predict future outcomes.
