Portland, Maine:
United States Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II announced that Robert
Kelly Carter, 50, of Lisbon, Maine, (formerly of Madison, Indiana) was
sentenced today in U.S. District Court by Judge Nancy Torresen to ten years in
prison and three years of supervised release for possession of a firearm by a
felon. Carter pleaded guilty to the charge on December 12, 2013.
Court records reveal that on September 18, 2013, Carter, who
was on probation for a 2007 sexual abuse in the first degree conviction in
Kentucky, was found in possession of a loaded .38 special revolver and a pistol
when his supervising Maine probation officer searched his Lisbon residence.
Carter also had felony convictions in Indiana in 2001 and 2004.
Judge Torresen said she imposed the maximum statutory
sentence of ten years because she believed Carter was a danger to the
community, particularly to the women with whom he shares personal
relationships.
The investigation was conducted by the Maine Department of
Corrections (Probation and Parole), the Lewiston and Lisbon Police Departments,
the Central Maine Violent Crime Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
