CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Robert Allen Bowman, of
Fairmont, West Virginia, was indicted today on child pornography charges, U.S.
Attorney Bill Powell announced.
Bowman, age 31, is charged with two counts of “Production of
Child Pornography.” Bowman is accused enticing a minor into sexually explicit
conduct for the purpose of pictures to distribute electronically. The crimes
are alleged to have occurred in July 2019 in Marion County.
Bowman faces at least 15 years and up to 30 years
incarceration and a fine of up to $250,000.
Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed
will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal
history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah E. Wagner is prosecuting the
case on behalf of the government. The FBI, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office,
and the Monongah Police Department investigated.
An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is
presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
