A former FBI electronics technician was sentenced last week
to 20 years in prison for participating in sexually explicit online chats with
at least three teenagers.
According to court records, many of the former FBI
technician's crimes occurred while he was on agency property.
Former FBI technician Justin Carroll was not caught thanks
to the vigilance of his colleagues. In fact, Carroll could have gotten away
with his lewd acts indefinitely if one of the teenagers hadn't sent him a
Valentine's Day gift addressed to the FBI's Nashville office.
According to the criminal complaint against Carroll, the
FBI's Nashville office received an unmarked package on March 5, 2021. The
package was treated as suspicious, and a special agent specializing in
explosives examined it. However, inside, there was only a teddy bear and some
candy.
