SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images A former chief of the Health and Human Services cyber security was convicted Tuesday on child porn charges.
An ex-cyber security chief at the Department of Health and Human Services was convicted on Tuesday on several counts of child pornography.
Timothy DeFoggi, 56, was found guilty of engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, conspiracy to advertise and distribute child pornography and accessing a computer with intent to view child pornography.
He was listed as an employee with top clearance at the HHS up until January 2014, though he was charged and held without bail in May 2013.
According to his detention order, the court ruled that DeFoggi be held on the basis of an apparent "mental condition" that could impact his ability to appear in court.
He was arrested as part of an FBI investigation into three child pornography websites closed down by the agency in 2012.
His activities on the site included accessing child pornography and expressing sexual fantasies — including raping and murdering children — in his communication with other site members.
"DeFoggi even suggested meeting one member in person to fulfill their mutual fantasies to violently rape and murder children," the Department of Justice said of DeFoggi’s activities.
DeFoggi, of Germantown, Md., is the sixth conviction stemming from the 2012 FBI investigation.
His trial was held in Omaha, where one of the sex sites was registered.
He faces up to life in prison when he’s sentenced Nov. 7.
HHS said in a statement that DeFoggi began work at the department in 2008 as a supervisory IT specialist at the Indian Health Service. He then moved to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration, where he worked as lead IT specialist until January 2014.
