Denis Victor Courchesne, a Fort MacMurray man who was arrested last year in Puerto Rico for possession and production of child pornography, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. The sentence was handed down in Puerto Ric recently, and that is where 45 year old Denis will serve the sentence as well. It all started when Courchesne arrived at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan late last year, coming from Panama City, Panama. During a routine customs search the officers discovered that the electronic devices Denis Victor Courchesne had with him contained child pornography. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a statement after Denis was arrested stating that he was a paid subscriber to websites and groups where he downloaded hundreds of child pornography images.

After Denis Victor Courchesne was arrested his electronic devices were further examined, and investigators also found numerous advertisements and videos that obtained child pornography. Courchesne admitted in an affidavit that he had a sexual attraction to prepubescent girls. Thanks to the hard efforts of customs officers and immigration officials this is one man who preys on children who will not have access for many years to come. Law enforcement are continuously monitoring the Internet because of the many groups and websites juts like the ones that Denis belonged to. Pedophiles are on the radar, and more countries are taking steps to stop these criminals before more innocent children can be hurt. What do you think a fair sentence for Denis Victor Courchesne would be?
