Groton Man Sentenced For Child Porn

Robert Wunsch, 60, of Groton, was sentenced Tuesday to 36 months of imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release, for possessing child pornography, according to a press release issued by David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on February 9, 2007, special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a court-authorized search of Wunsch's residence on information that his home computer was used in the Internet sharing of sexually explicit images of minors.

Subsequent analysis of home computers, external hard drives, and related equipment that were seized during the search revealed the existence of 448 still images and 15 videos of child pornography, including numerous photographs of children under the age of 12.     

On February 16, 2010, Wunsch pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography.

This investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Connecticut Computer Crimes Task Force, which includes federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.  This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Deborah R. Slater.
