NORFOLK, Va. — A U.S. Navy petty officer second class was sentenced to six years in prison Tuesday for receiving child sexual abuse material, according to a release from the Department of Justice Eastern District of Virginia.
Robert Henry, 43, was flagged to Norfolk Police in November 2024 with allegations that he had the abuse material on his personal laptop and on external hard drives. On the devices, police found nearly 300 pictures and videos that depicted at least 27 minor victims.
Henry also used messaging apps to search for keywords like "Teens and Schoolgirls", and "Teen XXX Groups", according to the DOJ, and used the apps to find other groups that shared abuse materials.
According to the DOJ, Henry deleted one of the messaging apps he was using for this purpose because, "There are people looking for predators."
