NORFOLK, Va. – A Norfolk man was sentenced today to 74
months in prison for receiving images of minors engaging in sexually explicit
conduct.
According to court documents, Jesse Courtemanche, 38, was
found to be sharing images of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct by
FBI agents using peer-to-peer file-sharing software in an undercover capacity.

when he was in his mid-teens. A review of his electronic media revealed his
collection of thousands of images and videos of child sexual abuse.

the FBI’s Norfolk Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by

M. Yusi prosecuted the case.
