PG County Man Gets 32 Years In Prison For Producing Child Porn: DOJ

GREENBELT, MD — A Prince George's County man was sentenced to more than three decades in federal prison this week for the production of child pornography, according to the Maryland U.S. District Attorney's Office.

Carl Gage Linden, 57, of Mount Rainier, will spend 32 years in prison followed by lifetime supervised release after he pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and third- and fourth-degree sexual offenses following his November arrest.

According to federal officials, Linden kept explicit photos of one of his underage victims on his phone, which she later found. Authorities also discovered dozens of other photos, videos, and images depicting the sexual abuse of two victims that were between seven and eleven years old.

A federal judge also ordered Linden to pay restitution in the amount of $25,401 to the victims.Upon his release, he must register at home and at work.

As required by his plea agreement on the federal charges, Linden also pleaded guilty to related sex abuse charges in Prince George’s County Circuit Court. Linden will be sentenced in that case on March 22.
