    BANGOR, Maine — United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Ronald H. Trecartin, 31, of Linneus, was sentenced June 9 in U.S. District Court in Bangor to 10 years in prison and 20 years of supervised release for possession of child pornography. He pled guilty on Nov. 6, 2013.
According to court records, in May 2012, a law enforcement agent learned that videos containing child pornography were being shared over a file-sharing network from a computer located at Trecartin’s residence in Linneus. On Sept. 26, 2012, agents executed a search warrant at the residence and seized two laptop computers and other media and electronic devices belonging to Trecartin. A forensic examination of the items seized revealed that three contained child pornography.
The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
