A 24-year-old Waldoboro man pleaded guilty on Sept. 30 in Lincoln County Superior Court to five counts of possession of sexually explicit material of minors under 12 years old. James R. Brann was sentenced to four years in prison with all but six months suspended and six years probation. He will also be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
Police found over 1000 images and movies that depicted pornography involving children from “infants to just pre-pubescent kids,” Assistant District Attorney Andrew Wright told the court.
The sentence reflects a plea bargain in which five additional counts of possession of child pornography were dropped. Brann’s attorney, Andrews Campbell, agreed with the sentence.
