BANGOR — A federal judge in Maine has denied a former state drug prosecutor’s request that he be released while awaiting sentencing following his conviction on child pornography charges.
U.S. District Judge John Woodcock on Monday ordered that 48-year-old James Cameron, of Hallowell, continue to be held without bail. In a jury-waived trial in August, Woodcock found Cameron guilty of 13 charges.
According to the Bangor Daily News, Cameron’s attorney asked that Cameron be released so he could resume sex therapy, attend to an ill relative, be treated for hypertension and attend to a family business so another family member can take it over when is in prison.
Cameron faces between roughly 22 years and 27 years in prison. His sentencing date has not been scheduled.
