The Justice Department announced on Friday that as the result of a Homeland Security Investigation, a Grand Jury indicted a 61-year-old resident of Montrose, Colorado on one count of making a false statement to the United States and one count of Perjury. Both of those charges are felonies.

According to the indictment handed down by a Grand Jury in Anchorage, James Paul Hunt had recently applied as a Third-Party-Custodian for his son who was charged with distribution of child pornography. A document that he signed under the penalty of Perjury to the U.S. Probation/Pretrial Services Office.

On the application, it asks if the applicant had “ever been cited, arrested, charged with, or convicted of any crime.” In response to that question, Hunt knowingly failed to disclose that he had in 1987 been charged with,and pled guilty to Sexual Assault on a Child in Colorado.

Additionally, at his son’s bail hearing on November 26, 2012, according to the indictment, Hunt was questioned by the assistant U.S. Attorney whether there were any other instances or police contacts that Hunt had failed to mention on the application to be his son’s third party custodian. Hunt falsely responded and did not disclose the Sexual Assault charge and his guiilty plea.

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Sayers-Fay, who presented the case to the Grand Jury, each of the felony counts carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine with one year’s supervised release and a mandatory special assessment of $100 per count.
