Camden Man Sentenced to 9 Years in Federal Prison for Uploading Child Pornography

EL DORADO - A Camden man was sentenced on June 15, 2026, to 108 months in federal prison to be followed by 10 years of supervised release for uploading child pornography to an online storage platform. The Honorable Susan O. Hickey presided over the sentencing hearing, which was held in the U.S. District Court in El Dorado.

According to court documents, Calvin Thomas Brown, age 43, uploaded images and videos depicting child pornography to an internet-based storage program. The upload sparked a CyberTipline Report by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that was later transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The investigation revealed that Brown had not only uploaded child pornography but also possessed more than a hundred similar images and videos on his cellphone. Additionally, agents discovered that Brown had been chatting online with like-minded offenders and soliciting and receiving child pornography files.

Brown was indicted by a Grand Jury in the Western District of Arkansas in July of 2025 and entered a plea of guilty in November of 2025.

U.S. Attorney Kevin R. Holmes of the Western District of Arkansas made the announcement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Camden Police Department investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Devon Still prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
