John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that ERIC RUNDSTROM, 45, of Wallingford, pleaded guilty
today before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to one count
of receipt and possession of child pornography.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
an FBI investigation revealed that Rundstrom had accessed an online website to
connect with others interested in collecting and sharing images and videos
depicting the sexual abuse of children.
Investigators discovered a link to an online file hosting account
associated with Rundstrom where hundreds of images and videos of child
pornography had been stored, including images of adult males sexually abusing
prepubescent females.
Rundstrom was arrested on a federal criminal complaint on
February 14, 2019.
Judge Arterton scheduled sentencing for June 3, 2020, at
which time Rundstrom faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. Rundstrom is released on a $25,000 bond
pending sentencing.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anastasia E.
King.
