Kiln Resident Sentenced for Child Pornography Offense
| U.S. Attorney’s Office February 24, 2010 |
GULFPORT, MS—Aaron Brensike, age 64, of Kiln, Mississippi, was sentenced in federal court today by U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola to serve 87 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Donald R. Burkhalter and FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen announced today. Brensike was also ordered to pay a $12,500 fine and to forfeit two computers.
Brensike pled guilty in October, 2009 to an indictment charging him with the transfer of obscene material to minors. Brensike admitted to engaging in sexually explicit chats and sending obscene photos over the Internet to someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl, who in reality was an individual providing assistance to the FBI.
“This prosecution is a continuing effort by this office to remove people like Brensike from civil society,” said U.S. Attorney Burkhalter.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jay Golden and Annette Williams.
