A Lewiston man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Portland for sexually exploiting a child and possessing child sexual abuse material.
Timothy Doyon, 29, was sentenced to 35 years in prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $103,500 in restitution.
In sentencing Doyon, the judge stated, “This crime is among the worst I have ever seen.”
From the U.S. Attorney’s Office:
According to court records, in March 2023, the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit (MSPCCU) received three related CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s (NCMEC). According to the tips, a phone number had been used to upload more than 400 files of suspected child sexual abuse material to cloud-based storage. Investigation revealed that the phone number belonged to Timothy Doyon, a registered sex offender in Maine with a prior state conviction for possessing sexually explicit material of a minor under 12. In May 2023, investigators executed a warrant to search Doyon’s person, vehicle and residence. During the warrant’s execution, investigators seized multiple electronic devices, including cell phones and digital storage devices, and Doyon admitted to downloading, viewing, and saving child sexual abuse material. At least one image recovered depicted Doyon engaging in sexually explicit conduct with a child under the age of 12. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is limiting identifying information to protect the minor victim’s privacy.
