71-year-old Nottingham man gets 72 months for transporting child porn

CONCORD - A 71-year-old Nottingham man was sentenced on Friday to 72 months in federal prison for transportation of child pornography, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Friday.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in April of 2019, law enforcement officers learned that Microsoft had detected potential child exploitation materials on a Microsoft OneDrive account with an IP address that led to the address of Clifford A. Bullock.

Law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Bullock's residence on Aug. 5, 2019, seizing a computer, cellular phones and numerous items of digital media that contained a large collection of child pornography.

Bullock admitted to using the internet to view and save child pornography involving girls. He further admitted to uploading and storing files on OneDrive, including child pornography images.

Bullock pleaded guilty on June 6. In addition to the prison sentence, Bullock must spend five years on supervised release, pay $5,100 in special assessments and $39,000 in restitution.

"Child pornography crimes exploit innocent children and cause immeasurable harm," said Acting U.S. Attorney John J. Farley. "In order to protect young people, we work closely with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute those who commit child pornography crimes in the Granite State. As Mr. Bullock has learned, child pornography crimes can lead to serious federal prison time."
