Kiddie Porn Hoarder Eliot Cutler, Caught with 80,000 Images of Children Getting Raped, Released Early for “Good Behavior”

Hancock County Jail Administrator Timothy Richardson announced Thursday that Eliot Cutler, the former Maine gubernatorial candidate who was arrested for possessing a vast collection of child pornography, has been released from incarceration early due to “good behavior.”

Cutler began his sentence at Hancock County Jail on June 1, 2023 after pleading guilty to four counts involving the possession of child pornography.

Judge Robert Murray gave Cutler a sentence of four years with only nine to be served.

During his court proceedings, prosecutors said Cutler was in possession of more than 80,000 images showing children being sexually assaulted.

Cutler is required to register with the Maine Sex Offender Registry, but the registry does not yet have a record for him.

Cutler’s brief incarceration stands in stark contrast to other high-profile cases involving Mainers in recent years.

Kyle Fitzsimmons of Lebanon, for example, received more the seven times Cutler’s sentence for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riots.

Money plus political connections equals “I can do anything I want”. He committed the most disgusting crime imaginable and gets a slap on the wrist. Human scum, who I’m sure laughed in his limo all the way home.
