A Maine man currently serving a 10-year state prison sentence for the sexual abuse of children has pleaded guilty to federal child exploitation charges after investigators found his stash of child pornography hidden under a kayak at his former place of work in Brunswick.

Henry Eichman, 64, of Topsham, pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Portland to four counts of sexually exploiting a child.

According to court records, in August 2022, a worker at a Brunswick landscaping company found two laptops and several external hard drives hidden under a kayak on the company’s property.

The employee reportedly opened the devices and discovered that they contained child sexual abuse material, and recognized Eichman, a former employee of the company, on some of the files.

Federal investigators forensically examined the devices and recovered over 500 images and videos containing child sexual abuse material, including videos showing Eichman setting up a recording device and participating in the sexual abuse of four minor victims from 2014 to 2016.

Eichman previously entered an Alford plea in state court in 2018 for the sexual abuse of children and is currently serving a 10-year sentence.

Now facing four counts of sexually exploiting a child under federal after his guilty plea, Eichman could spend from 15 to 30 years behind bars, pay a maximum fine of $250,000, and be on supervised release for five years up to life — on each of the four counts.

Chemical castration should be the order of the day.

Sexual addiction cannot be cured. And here we are, spending taxpayers hard earned $$$money$$$ sexually exploiting our children within the public education system to be sure we have plenty of sexually exploited children to feed to these sexually addicted monsters.

What gives? Joe just Parden a chines child sex abuser.

Wow; the “cultural revolution” is effectively normalizing all manner of aberrations.

What a time to live in America.

Social Media = Social Diseases, among other things.

PS: wonder if he was an early pioneer in Drag Queen Story Hours at our government operated elementary schools.

Joe likes them young, just ask his daughter!

You are wrong. Joe just pardon a citizen of China for the crime of child ponoghaph. He also parden 2 more Chinese citizen of spying They are all free now. Thank you President Biden and loyal Maine supporters.

Joe has been compromised by the CCP. They have him right where they want him. Showering with the granddaughter tells you all you need to know.

I read somewhere that the author Pearl Buck once wrote “Hell is other people; Heaven is other people.” Which is very insightful, and brings the “hereafter” to those of us still occupying earthly locales.

It occurred to me that we could enlarge that notion and suggest that “The Devil is other people; and God is other people.” Without getting all philosophical, it’s at least as close to reality as we can have in the way of “direct contact” while we still live.

If you accept that metaphor for sake of discussion, one could argue that the Devil is consolidating his work in the persons of the type described in this article, and several other classes that seem to be wickedly intent on destroying the notions of childhood: growing up normally, being protected by loving adults, and with the freedom to become what you were endowed to be….in a rational pursuit of happiness.

Think of the forces gathered to attack and dominate our precious children:

  • those who pursue unrestricted abortion with a religious fervor and crave the ability to take a new life while still in the womb.
  • claiming that sex “is assigned at birth,” when that word couldn’t be more deceitful. In fact, sex is determined beginning at conception. And along with that, claiming that infants as young as a year old can have the first recognition that they were “born in the wrong body.”
  • perverts like the one in this article, who besides favoring the porno side of things, actually pursue and assault innocents…sometimes in their own families!
  • the government education system in which untrained and unqualified “educators” who proselytize innocent young children beginning in elementary grades, and do their best to keep the efforts, and any progress, hidden from parents and/or guardians.
  • the major Children’s’ Hospitals and their staffs who have perverted the medical concept of “first, do no harm,” and replaced it with “maximize revenue both near term, and for as long as the experiments are alive.”
  • The Drag Queen world, which at one time was a fringe adult entertainment offering, aligning itself with other protagonists to change perceptions of them as just another form of amusement and Happy, Happy, Happy Behavior
  • Mandatory and legalized invasion of unisex sports, locker rooms, bathrooms, showers, and other customary divisions of personal and public activities to cater to an extremely small segment of our population that believes their right to make believe they are what they aren’t, no matter how it can harm and otherwise endanger others.
  • The myriad ways in which children are being trafficked from the very young on up to satisfy the perversions of gangs, cartels, and individuals who will pay to indulge their sickness, no matter the lifelong harm it does to their victims. They can be used as mules to transport fatally potent drugs, and frequently end up as users for a variety of reasons at the youngest ages.
  • The full leap of Academia into a new field of attraction, specialization, and majors, all based on the social fascination and encouragement of what is a mental and or psychological illness. Embrace the revenue and the “prestige” of the postmodern view of sex as distinct from gender expression and various other forms of unnatural proclivities in the “relationship” realm.
  • There was a time when tattoos, piercings, and clown colored hair were considered to be the limits of expressing oneself in public, and separating from parental control. Those are now, like, so yesterday, and have been replaced by major, irreversible bodily harm and mutilation, more often than not sold to them by adults with unpure and depraved motivations.
  • Throw in “Social Media” which takes the vulnerable into modern era “social diseases,” which instead of STDs that can be treated, is a world of multiple forms of mental illness, often as a lifelong (or short) duration. Student mental health has been declining seriously for decades. Checkout a local college web site and see if you can find the “campus counseling center.” I’ve researched the one at Bowdoin, and they have been overwhelmed by the “needs” and neuroses of the elite students they seek and enroll.

I hate to be trite, but “we have met the enemy, and he is us,” as Pogo once said. And going back to the opening premise of this comment, we are collectively going all in on creating Hell on Earth.
