Windham, MAINE

May 1, 2008 - David Tanguay, 61, a Windham High School biology teacher, pleaded guilty to to one count of possessing child pornography after an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

U.S. Attorney Paula D. Silsby said the case against Tanguay stemmed from the discovery that he had paid for subscriptions to Internet sites containing child pornography. The discovery was made during a nationwide investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Silsby said investigators then interviewed Tanguay, who identified himself as a subscriber to such sites. Tanguay admitted to downloading the images from Web sites, but claimed the material did not interest him, Silsby said, quoting court records.
