Man Faces Child Pornography Charges Returned from Duty in Afghanistan and Arrested by FBI

Corey Hollis McAdoo, age 31, made an initial appearance before Federal Magistrate Nita Stormes in the Southern District of California on Friday, January 28, 2011. A criminal complaint, filed by the FBI in Portland, Oregon, charges McAdoo with two counts of receiving child pornography while he was stationed as a U.S. Marine at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan.

The complaint alleges that a girlfriend living in Portland, Inez Lambert, sent McAdoo numerous child pornography videos that she produced for him between October and November 2010. Lambert faces separate state charges with relation to this investigation.

In the course of this investigation, NCIS agents interviewed McAdoo in Afghanistan, and, at the direction of the camp commander, the military subsequently returned him to Camp Pendleton, California. He arrived in California earlier this week. On Thursday, January 27, the FBI arrested McAdoo at Camp Pendleton on the federal charges, and, with the assistance of NCIS, transported him to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego.

At his initial appearance, the judge ruled that McAdoo be detained. He will be transported back to Oregon for further court proceedings.

All defendants should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Assistant United States Attorney Gary Sussman is prosecuting this case.
