U.S. Army soldier in training Joshua Gamble, 29, has been indicted on one count of distribution of child pornography.
The indictment comes just after his arrest in October, when FBI agents investigating illegal distribution of child pornography through an internet chat application discovered activity that took place on Aug. 10 and 11, 2021.
If found guilty, Gamble faces a minimum penalty of five years and as many as 20 years in federal prison. There is no option for parole in the federal system.
“Anyone who would think to engage in activities that exploit children should be forewarned that our vigilant law enforcement partners are always watching,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Estes. “We will be unrelenting in pursuing those who would victimize the most vulnerable among us.”
