Hubbard. Hubbard.

A Roanoke Rapids man who illegally downloaded more than 11,000 photos of minors engaged in sexual activity will spend more than 12.5 years in federal prison.

The United States Attorney’s Office announced in a press release Monday James Kelley Hubbard, 34, a former Caledonia Correctional Institution officer, was sentenced to 151 months in prison and a lifetime of supervised release.
A Federal Grand Jury returned a criminal indictment on March 17. On May 11  Hubbard pled guilty to receipt of child pornography.
According to the investigation, on March 10, agents conducted an online undercover operation on a peer-to-peer sharing network. It was discovered that Hubbard had been downloading child pornography using Limewire. A search of his residence was conducted and his computer was seized. Forensic examination of his computer’s hard drive revealed more than 11,000 pictures depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
This case was part of the Project Safe Childhood initiative, a national program aimed at ensuring that criminals exploiting children are effectively prosecuted by making full use of all available law enforcement resources at every level. For more information about this national project, go to www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Ethan Ontjes represented the government.
The indictment filed March 17 alleges Hubbard from February of 2006 to September of last year received jpeg, bmp and mpeg files depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The images include a 9-year-old girl posing nude, a 5-year-old engaged in sex acts with her brother and an avi file depicting a 12-year-old girl committing incest along with other untitled files.
