BALTIMORE—U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced
Cary Anderson, age 33, of Dameron, Maryland, today to 25 years in
prison, followed by lifetime supervised release, for sexually exploiting
minors to produce child pornography. Judge Motz also ordered, that upon
his release from prison, Anderson must register as a sex offender in
the place where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a
student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act
(SORNA).
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Stephen E. Vogt of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron; and St. Mary’s County State’s Attorney Richard Fritz.
According to that statement of facts that was part of his guilty plea, Anderson began sexually molesting a young girl when she was 11 years old. From February 17 to February 24, 2012, Anderson sexually exploited the girl, who was then 13 years old, and produced images documenting the abuse. Further, on February 24, 2012, Anderson also sexually exploited a 15-year-old girl he met on the Internet and brought to his home and produced visual depictions documenting the abuse.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children and to identify and rescue victims.
