A Biloxi man has pled guilty to possessing a large amount of child pornographic material.
According to court documents, 36-year-old Christopher Lee Parker was identified in a child exploitation investigation in cyber tip reports coming from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
A federal search warrant obtained for Parker’s Biloxi residence resulted in the recovery of Parker’s cell phones, which had approximately 291 visual depictions, in still and video formats, of minors, including those who had not reached 12 years of age, engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Parker is scheduled to be sentenced on April 11, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., in Gulfport. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
Homeland Security investigated the case with assistance from the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and the Biloxi Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Jones is prosecuting the case.
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.
