BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vernon man was sentenced Wednesday to two and a half years in federal prison for possession of child porn.
Authorities say Glen Buehler, 68, was sentenced in Burlington following his guilty plea to possessing child pornography. According to court records, Buehler downloaded the material in February 2023 from the BitTorrent network. New Hampshire police and federal investigators soon tracked the download to Buehler’s computer. A search of his home later revealed over 4,000 video and image files.
Authorities say that even after his arrest and release on conditions last April, Buehler continued to access the illicit material and he was re-arrested again in June and held for violating conditions.
In addition to prison time, he will have to serve a 15-year term of supervised release and pay $33,000 in restitution.
