MONROE, La. – Emerson Eugene Stanton, 56, of West Monroe, Louisiana, was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography that included sexually explicit images of juveniles. Judge Doughty also sentenced Stanton to five years of supervised release following his incarceration.

According to information presented in court, Stanton’s employer found internet searches for nude images of children on the defendant’s cell phone, and took the phone that day to the West Monroe Police Department. Officers obtained and executed a search warrant for Stanton’s cell phone and discovered images of child pornography involving prepubescent minors. A search warrant was also executed at Stanton’s home where officers found another cell phone containing more images of child pornography involving prepubescent minors, including one of the same images officers found on the phone Stanton possessed at work. Stanton pled guilty to these charges on March 8, 2019.

Homeland Security Investigations and West Monroe Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica D. Cassidy prosecuted the case.
