Fallston Man With Porn Showing Babies, Children Sentenced: Prosecutor

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — A 54-year-old Fallston man has been sentenced for distributing child pornography.

The Maryland State Police discovered that an IP address was sharing suspected child pornography. It belonged to Robert Jackson Wyatt, Jr. and a search warrant for his home was executed Oct. 1, 2021. He was out on his boat, so investigators waited until he returned home.

Wyatt agreed to a search of his cell phone and several child pornography files were found on it. He also belonged to a chat app with chat groups called "incest and little girl" and "mommy and daughter." On Oct. 26, 2022, investigators searched Wyatt's boat and found two thumb drives with multiple images and videos of child pornography, including several known series involving depictions of babies, toddlers and sadomasochistic abuse of children.

In total, more than 1,170 images files and more than 170 video files were located on Wyatt’s devices.

Wyatt entered a guilty plea in the case and has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison followed by lifetime supervised release. He had a previous federal conviction for possession of child pornography and once released from prison, Wyatt must register as a sex offender where he lives, works and is a student.
