Tucson Man Sentenced To 10 Years For Child Pornography Charges

TUCSON, AZ — A federal judge sentenced a Tucson man to 10 years behind bars after pleading guilty to the distribution of child pornography.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona announced the sentencing for Robert Henderson, Jr., 59, on Friday.

Henderson was charged with child pornography offenses on June 26, 2019, after a law enforcement investigation identified him as using a file-sharing network to obtain child sex abuse material in 2018.

Following his release from prison, Henderson will be placed on lifetime supervised release with stringent conditions of supervision. He will also be required to register as a sex offender and to complete a sex offender treatment program, prosecutors said.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
