A man convicted of possessing and trafficking in child pornography will spend the next 12-years in federal prison.
United States District Judge Carl J. Barbier handed down the sentence to Michael Paul Perrilloux after he previously plead guilty to Count Four of a four-count indictment charging him with distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including prepubescent children.
Special Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant at Perrilloux’s New Orleans-area residence after receiving a tip that Perrilloux had uploaded images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children to an online, cloud-based file storage account.
Agents seized numerous electronic devices belonging to Perrilloux. A subsequent review of the devices revealed that between at least 2017 and 2020,
Perrilloux uploaded images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children via a computer and the internet to one or more online, cloud-based file storage accounts under his control.
