Former Federal Contractor Sentenced for Receipt of Child Pornography
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Polish citizen, who was employed as a federal contractor for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, was sentenced today to five years in prison for receiving images of child sexual abuse.
According to court documents, Michal Piotrowicz, 40, while living in Alexandria, used a peer-to-peer file-sharing program to receive and possess over 1,000 images of child pornography, featuring the sexual exploitation of young girls. While he was under investigation, Piotrowicz was intercepted and arrested at Dulles International Airport as he attempted to leave the country.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Ellis III.
