According to the plea agreement, two girls under the age of 10 stated that they had been repeatedly, sexually abused by Paul Henry Brown over the course of several months, to include being forced to perform oral sex on Brown.
Prosecutors said Talbot County sheriff's deputies contacted Brown on July 30, 2010, who denied the allegations. On Aug. 11, 2010, Talbot County deputies executed a search warrant at Brown's home and seized a digital camera and flash memory card.
According to court documents, further investigation revealed that the camera was used to take pictures of the two girls nude, and engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Prosecutors said that in one image, the two girls are sitting on Brown's lap, all of them naked. Two CD-Rs were also seized which prosecutors said contained more than 600 images and many videos of child pornography, including portrayals of sadistic conduct. Most of the images involved prepubescent girls, court records show.
As part of his plea agreement, Brown must register as a sex offender in the place where he resides, where he is an employee, and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
Brown faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 in prison followed by up to a lifetime of supervised release.
