          Bilodeau was convicted of possession of child pornography in 2011 and sentenced to three years in prison.  In August, 2014, while being supervised by U.S. Probation, he was suspected of being dishonest with his probation officer regarding ongoing criminal activity.  A subsequent search of his residence by United States Probation Officers revealed numerous electronic devices which contained sexually explicit images of minor children.

When released from prison, Bilodeau will continue to be supervised by U.S. Probation for life.

          The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Office of United States Probation.  This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Helen White
