A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Portland courtroom to transporting child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced in a news release that Ryan Abbott, 23, of Plymouth, Wisconsin, entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court.

According to court records, Abbott was living in Wisconsin when he sent several emails to the undercover email account of a federal agent in Maine. Some of those messages contained links to folders of child pornography images stored on a cloud storage website. Other messages attached video files depicting sexually explicit conduct involving young children.

Abbott was arrested in Wisconsin in December and brought to Maine to face charges, Delahanty said.

Abbott faces five to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and five years to a lifetime of supervised release. He will be sentenced following the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
