BROWNSBORO MAN GUILTY OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY VIOLATIONS
TYLER, TX – United States Attorney Rebecca A. Gregory announced today that a 43-year-old Brownsboro, Texas man has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in the Eastern District of Texas.
DOYLE RANDALL PAROLINE pleaded today to possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of minors today before United States Magistrate Judge John D. Love.
According to information presented in court, on July 11, 2008, a federal search warrant was executed at Paroline's Brownsboro residence during which a personal computer was seized by law enforcement officers. A forensic examination of the computer revealed visual depictions of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Paroline admitted to possessing more than 150 images of child pornography.
Paroline faces up to 10 years in federal prison at sentencing. A sentencing date has not been set.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Longview Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Baldwin.
