Scarborough Man Sentenced to 12 Months and One Day for Possessing Child Pornography, Ordered to Pay $18,000 Restitution
PORTLAND, Maine — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maine announced that Robert E. Milholland, Jr., 49, of Scarborough, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland for possessing child pornography. U.S. District Judge Stacey D. Neumann sentenced Milholland to 12 months and one day in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered him to pay $18,000 in restitution to victims whose images he possessed. The sentencing took place on November 9, 2026, and Milholland pleaded guilty on March 31, 2026.
According to court records, Milholland became the target of a law enforcement investigation after being linked to child sexual abuse material over the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network. In July 2025, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) investigators executed a search warrant at his residence, resulting in the seizure of multiple digital media devices that contained child sexual abuse material.
HSI investigated the case. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
