Registered sex offender sentenced to 10 years for possession of child sexual abuse material

GALVESTON, Texas - A 55-year-old Pearland resident has been ordered to federal prison again for possessing child pornography, announced Acting U.S. Attorney John G.E. Marck.

Jason Doehring pleaded guilty Oct. 15, 2025.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Vincent Brown has now sentenced Doehring to 120 months in federal prison. At the hearing, the court heard additional information detailing how he possessed over 300 images on his laptop. Doehring was further ordered to serve five years on supervised release following the completion of his prison term. During that time, he will have to comply with numerous requirements designed to restrict his access to children and the internet. Doehring will also be ordered to again register as a sex offender.

The investigation into Doehring began when authorities discovered a registered sex offender was accessing the social media pages of underage children.

On Feb. 9, 2022, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for Doehring's residence in Pearland. They located and seized 11 electronic devices and found them to contain multiple images of child sexual abuse material.

Doehring has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the future

Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations conducted the investigation.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ekua Assabill and Kimberly Leo prosecuted the case, which was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative the Department of Justice launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section leads PSC, which marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children and identifies and rescues victims.
