          CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE - Warren Robinson, 57, of Manchester, New Hampshire, pled guilty in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire to possessing child pornography, announced United States Attorney Emily Gray Rice.

          In February 2014, the New Hampshire Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Concord Police Department developed information that images of child pornography were being shared from Robinson’s residence in Manchester, New Hampshire.  A search warrant was obtained and executed at that residence in June 2014, resulting in the seizure of a computer belonging to Robinson which contained dozens of videos depicting young children engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

          Robinson is scheduled for sentencing in May 2016, and faces a maximum prison term of 10 years, to be followed by a term of at least 5 years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.

          The case was investigated by the New Hampshire Crimes Against Children Task Force in conjunction Homeland Security Investigations Manchester, and the police departments of Concord, Manchester, Raymond, and Bedford, New Hampshire.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nick Abramson.
