Gulfport, Miss. – Michael Alex Miller, 19, of Gulfport, pled
guilty today before U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden to one count of accessing with
intent to view visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit
conduct, announced U.S. Attorney Mike Hurst and Special Agent in Charge
Christopher Freeze with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In February 2019, the FBI received information that a
specific Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with a Gulfport residence
had previously accessed a website used to access child pornography. On February
8, 2019, agents went to that Gulfport address and Michael Alex Miller answered
the door. Miller agreed to voluntarily speak with the agents who conducted a
non-custodial interview with Miller.
Miller admitted to looking at child pornography on his Samsung S5
Cellular Telephone and viewing or accessing multiple images of the same.
Forensic examination of Miller’s cellular devices confirmed Miller accessed
multiple images of minors engaging in such conduct. A review of the images by
the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children also confirmed that the
images included known minors.
Miller will be sentenced on Friday, July 26, 2019, at 9:30
a.m., before United States District Judge Sul Ozerden in Gulfport.
