State v. Felde
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's three convictions for sexual abuse of children (possession of child pornography), holding that Mont. Code Ann. 46-11-410(2)(a) does not prohibit multiple convictions for possession of child pornography when the images were discovered on a single day on a single device.
Defendant admitted to downloading several photos and videos depicting child pornography and pled guilty to four counts, reserving his right to appeal the district court's denial of his motion to dismiss as to three of the counts. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court properly concluded that Mont. Code Ann. 45-5-625(1)(e) allows conviction for each image of child pornography that Defendant possessed.
