Norfolk Man Pleads Guilty to Receipt of Child Pornography

NORFOLK, VA—Kevin D. Jackson, age 35, of Norfolk, Va., pleaded guilty yesterday to receipt of child pornography.

Dana J. Boente, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and Royce E. Curtin, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Norfolk Field Office, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States Magistrate Judge Douglas Miller.

A Norfolk federal grand jury indicted Jackson on June 19, 2014, on four counts relating to child pornography. As a result of his guilty plea, Jackson faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years of incarceration when he is sentenced on February 2, 2015.

According to the statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, Jackson had sought out images of child pornography via the Internet for a number of years. A forensic examination confirmed that Jackson retained on his computer 54 videos and 189 pictures of child pornography.
