A Biloxi man will spend over 11 years in prison for receiving child pornography on his laptop.
Andrew Gilbert Landry, 51, was sentenced in the U.S. District Court in Gulfport on Friday. According to court documents, Landry was identified by law enforcement as an individual utilizing a peer-to-peer file-sharing network and knowingly receiving via the internet at least one visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Hard drives and a laptop computer recovered from Landry’s residence contained at least 800 videos and 80 still images of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including those under 12 years of age.
Landry, who once served as a physical therapy assistant in the Navy, according to the Sun Herald, was indicted by a federal grand jury in September of 2022. He pled guilty on November 2, 2023, to receipt of child pornography. He will spend his sentence in its entirety and will be subjected to a lifetime of supervised release following jail time.
In addition to Landry’s term of imprisonment, the court ordered a restitution of $15,000 for the victims and imposed an assessment of $3,000 under the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018.
