San Antonio Man Sentenced to Federal Prison on Child Pornography Charge

John E. Murphy, Acting United States Attorney, announced that this morning in San Antonio, 41-year-old Raymond Alfred Gagnon was sentenced to 200 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in April to transportation of child pornography.

In addition to the prison term, United States District Judge Xavier Rodriguez ordered that Gagnon be placed under supervised release for life after completing his prison term.

According to court records, Gagnon admitted to possessing a computer which contained child pornography on July 1, 2008. That computer, along with numerous hard drives, was seized by federal authorities pursuant to a search warrant. A subsequent forensics examination of the computer equipment revealed the presence of tens of thousands of images of child pornography.

This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation together with the Vermont State Police. Assistant United States Attorneys Tracy Thompson Braun prosecuted this case on behalf of the Government.
