Kevin Rockwell, a resident of Kennebunkport, was sentenced on April 9 in U.S. District Court in Portland for possessing child sexual abuse materials.
Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker ordered Rockwell, age 41, to serve 20 years in prison followed by life on supervised release. The court also required him to pay $104,000 in restitution to victims whose images he possessed. Rockwell had pleaded guilty on June 10, 2025.
In addition to the new sentence, Rockwell was ordered to serve an additional consecutive term of 18 months in prison due to a violation of his supervised release from a prior federal conviction for transportation of child pornography. He previously received an eight-and-a-half-year sentence for that offense.
According to court records, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Rockwell’s home in November 2024 and found a tablet containing numerous image and video files depicting the sexual abuse of prepubescent children. During an interview with agents, Rockwell admitted ownership of the tablet and acknowledged its contents.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated this case as part of Project Safe Childhood—a Department of Justice initiative launched in May 2006 aimed at combating child exploitation and abuse through coordination among federal, state, and local agencies.
