Brookfield Man Sentenced To 21 Years For Producing Child Pornography

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, District of New Hampshire

          CONCORD, N.H. – Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced today that Andrew McKenzie, 28, of Brookfield, New Hampshire was sentenced to 21 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.

 

          On  July 5, 2017, McKenzie pleaded guilty to one count of child pornography production.  According to court documents and statements made in court, in October of 2016, McKenzie began an instant messenger conversation through Kik with an undercover agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The defendant agreed to send the undercover agent sexually explicit photographs of a minor child.  The investigation determined that the images sent by the defendant were of a minor child known to the defendant.

 

          “Preventing the production of child pornography is a high priority of the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Farley.  “We are committed to working with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute these troubling cases.   By aggressively pursuing those who produce child pornography, we hope to deter others from engaging in similar egregious conduct in the future.  This horrific conduct is harmful to young children and their families and does serious damage to our entire community.”    

 

          The case was investigated by the FBI and the Rochester Police Department.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Helen White Fitzgibbon and Donald Feith.

 

          In February 2006, the Department of Justice introduced Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorney’s Offices, 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 identify and rescue victims.
