United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces the return of a superseding indictment charging Mitchell Regan,36, with two counts of distribution of child sex abuse material and one count of possession of CSAM.
If convicted, Regan faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison on each count, including a five-year minimum sentence on both distribution offences. Regan is detained in federal custody pending the resolution of this case.
According to the superseding indictment and court records, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a search warrant at Regan’s residence on October 17, 2024.
While searching Regan’s cellphone, an HSI computer forensic agent located an image of CSAM in his photo gallery.
Regan advised law enforcement that he was employed at a middle school and the Boys and Girls Club and teaches chess club and music lessons.
A subsequent review of Regan’s social media applications by law enforcement revealed Regan had distributed two videos of CSAM on June 24, 2024.
