June 4, 2010 - TUCSON, AZ—Kevin Deawne Martin, 40, of Tucson, Arizona was sentenced yesterday to 180 months' imprisonment for transportation and shipping of child pornography and possession of child pornography, by U.S. District Court Judge David C. Bury. Martin was convicted of his offenses following a jury trial on February 16, 2010.
In October of 2006, an FBI agent investigating the online trade of child pornography discovered that Martin was sharing images of child pornography via the Internet. A subsequent forensic examination of the defendant’s computer revealed that he possessed over 200 images and videos of child pornography. The defendant claimed that the computer, which was located at his girlfriend’s apartment, did not belong to him and was used by other people, including his girlfriend and her children. However, the evidence introduce at trial showed that the defendant was using the computer at the time the child pornography was downloaded and accessed.
Upon release from prison, Martin will be placed on lifetime supervised release. He will be required to register as a sex offender and to complete a sex offender treatment program.
The investigation leading to the conviction was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution was handled by Angela Woolridge, Assistant U.S. Attorney, District of Arizona, Tucson.
