Germantown Man Sentenced For Child Porn Possession

A Germantown man was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for child pornography possession, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland announced. 

More than 670 images and videos of child porn were found on a laptop belonging to Christopher Andrew Myers, 36, whom federal prosecutors said had a preference for infants and toddlers. 

According to evidence presented during a five-day trial, Myers purchased a membership to a website that afforded him access to child porn in 2006. Investigators said an undercover officer downloaded child porn images Myers shared in 2010.

U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus sentenced Myers. Upon release, Myers must register as a sex offender.
