The defendant will not be eligible for parole, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A Camden County man has been sentenced to 17½ years in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing and possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Court records show that investigators searched the Kingsland home of 69-year-old David Edward Adrian in July 2022 as part of an investigation into the production and possession of sexually explicit material involving children.
After seizing several electronic devices, investigators found what the State Attorney’s Office described as “thousands of images and videos depicting real minor victims engaged in sexually explicit conduct.” Adrian pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2026.
“This defendant preyed on children’s vulnerabilities, and his heinous actions have created irreparable harm,” U.S. Attorney Meg Heap said. “This office has a resolute commitment to protect children and bring justice to the victims and their families.”
At a September 2026 hearing, Adrian received a 210-month prison sentence followed by five years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 to the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Assistance Fund. The sentence does not include the possibility of parole.
“Protecting children from those who seek to exploit them is among the most important responsibilities we have in law enforcement,” Camden County Sheriff Kevin Chaney said. “I am proud of the dedication and persistence shown by our investigators throughout this case. Their work, alongside our federal partners and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, helped ensure this offender was held accountable. We will continue working together to identify those who victimize children and bring them to justice.”
