BILLINGS- A former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agent in Billings admitted in federal court Tuesday to possessing child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme.
Shawn Thomas Conrad, 48, faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and five years to life of supervised release on one count of possession of child porn.
Billings police began investigating Conrad in August 2018. As part of the investigation, Conrad’s supervisor at the fish and wildlife service seized an agency vehicle with Conrad’s personal hard drive, according to Alme.
