John H. Durham. United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that BRIAN GREGAN, 33, of Windsor Locks, was sentenced
today by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to 60 months of
imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release, for soliciting and
receiving child pornography.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in June 2017, Gregan and a 13-year-old boy communicated through the Kik
messaging application. After the boy
informed Gregan that he was 14 years old, they engaged in sexually explicit
communications. Gregan sent several
sexually explicit pictures of himself to the boy, and he solicited sexually
explicit images from the boy. In
response to these solicitations, the boy sent sexually explicit pictures and a
video of himself to Gregan.
The investigation also revealed that, in 2016, Gregan met a
15-year-old girl online. He requested
sexually explicit photographs and videos from the girl. Analysis of Gregan’s Apple iPad revealed a
sexually explicit video of the girl made when the girl was under the age of 18.
Gregan was arrested on related state charges on April 6,
2018. On October 7, 2019, he pleaded
guilty in federal court to one count of receipt of child pornography.
Gregan, who is released on a $50,000 bond with internet and
location monitoring conditions, is required to report to prison on April 7,
2020.
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Manchester Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney Neeraj N. Patel.
