A 45-year-old Porter man has again been sent to prison, this time for three federal charges to include distribution, receipt and possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick.

Eric Furzland is a sex offender who has been required to register since his conviction for indecency with a child in 1997 in Harris County. He pleaded guilty Oct. 12, 2017.
 
Read Original Story HERE!!

Today, U.S. District Judge Alfred H. Bennett sentenced Furzland to a total of 288 months in federal prison. He will also serve 20 years on supervised release following completion of his prison term, during which time he will have to comply with numerous requirements designed to restrict his access to children and the internet. Furzland will also again be ordered to register as a sex offender.

Authorities believed Furzland was uploading and storing child pornography into a virtual storage account. He had been using a variety of online applications to chat with others about child pornography and trade materials. He later posted such materials to a cloud storage service and made the link to his account available to at least one other person.

Law enforcement executed a search warrant at his residence, at which time they seized computer media and cellular phones. Forensic analysis of the phone, computer media and virtual storage accounts revealed 300 child pornography images and 2000 child pornography videos.

At a detention hearing held shortly after his arrest in April 2017, Furzland was found to be a flight risk and danger to the community. He has been in custody since that time where he will remain pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

The FBI conducted the investigation.

@carol888 : I thought about this reply for a bit. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. My mother was abused by her uncle and never felt she could go to her parents with her story. That says more about my grandparents than it does about her; I assure you. She told me when I was 18 and I was just devastated and shocked. I demanded retribution, revenge, heck...I wanted to find and kill him that evening for her sake but she left out a very important detail. She didn't tell me which uncle and she refused to no matter what I said or how I insisted the wrong be righted. I was determined that by that very evening his life be ruined. But, she didn't want to hurt his wife and his kids. What does that say about how molested kids are brainwashed into believing they are the ones wrong and that they don't have value? I remember the complete frustration and anger as I sat in my truck listening to her in the passenger seat tell me. I don't know why she told me in that setting and why that year; she just did. And then wanted me to forget what she told me; just wanted it to "go away" again. Maybe, she just needed to know that at long last someone would be furious for her and demand something be done; immediately. She never told my father or my three brothers; they would've wanted it to go away, too. I see that now. How very sad for her.
 
I am glad you were vindicated; so many families have done further damage to their children by not believing. I suspect that most families know long before the child knows how that person is; they just don't want to deal with anything.
 
Again, thank you for sharing; it's important what you did there.

Since my kids were young I told them, and I told them to never let anyone ever play with them that it was their body and no one else's. I told them which uncle and that if and when he got out of prison they should try to never be in the room with him and if he did try to, scream yell do what ever even kid him in the balls Whatever I did not care! I was a me too long before some stupid movement! He is out and now I will never go to Rockport again as long as he is in that area, which probably means I will not get to see my aunt again I also feel for his girls because they have had a rough life
 
Thank you for the heart warming response

@PorterTXDotCom : He went by Rikki when I knew him. He molested my granddaughter but claimed it was an accident. I hope he dies in prison. I have contacted the DOJ since reading this. And ask anyne who knew him and have children to contact them as well. We never could get a correct name on him to brng charges against him.
