MARYLAND<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian Anthony Gilbert, 34, of Owings Mills, Maryland, admitted to sexually abusing two children, ages two and seven years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A federal judge sentenced him to 45 years in prison for two counts of producing and one count of possessing child pornography.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did the defendant commit egregious acts of abuse against two children in his community, but he also recorded and exploited the abuse and trauma of young victims on the Dark Web,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department\u2019s Criminal Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no words to adequately express how disturbing this case truly is,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron for the District of Maryland.\u00a0 \u201cThis sentence sends a clear message that we will bring to justice those who victimize innocent children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the most vulnerable of our citizens \u2013 our children \u2013 are victimized we will do everything in our power to hold the perpetrators accountable and to protect others from harm,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Sobocinski of the FBI\u2019s Baltimore Field Office. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"closeup<\/a>According to court documents, in August 2020, Gilbert uploaded and advertised at least two video files to an online bulletin board dedicated to child pornography hosted on the Tor network, a computer network specifically designed to facilitate anonymous communication over the internet. <\/span><\/p>\n

The videos were approximately 10 minutes and 15 minutes in length, respectively, and depicted sexual acts between Gilbert and an approximately seven-year-old female victim (Victim 1).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Gilbert\u2019s posts to the online bulletin board, he admits to having produced both videos, court documents indicate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"flat<\/a>As detailed in his plea agreement, on Sept. 11, 2020, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Gilbert\u2019s residence while he was present. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the execution of the search warrant, Gilbert waived his rights and informed law enforcement that he video-recorded sexual acts between himself and Victim 1 in his bedroom and at Victim 1\u2019s residence approximately five times between January 2019 and August 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also stated he recorded sexual acts between himself and another victim, who was approximately two years old (Victim 2) at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gilbert further told law enforcement that he distributed the child sexual abuse material, which he produced, on the Tor network.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the execution of the search warrant, law enforcement seized electronic devices from Gilbert\u2019s bedroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A subsequent forensic analysis of Gilbert\u2019s electronic devices revealed over 2,000 files of child pornography.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among those files were six videos of Gilbert engaging in sexual acts with Victim 1 and Victim 2 in Gilbert\u2019s bedroom or in Victim 1\u2019s residence. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the child pornography located on Gilbert\u2019s devices included pre-pubescent children under the age of 12 as well as sadistic or masochistic conduct, including the use of instruments or tools on children, and sexual acts between adults and children. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI investigated the case, with valuable assistance provided by the Prince George\u2019s County Police Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
