Timothy David Webb, 32, a registered sex offender, a child molester., was a passenger on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Grandeur of the Seas for a Caribbean cruise when it returned to Norfolk, Virginia on May 21, 2009. With him he had a laptop with pornographic photographs of children on it.
During an inspection of Webb's laptop, agents discovered child pornography photos and videos. A more extensive search revealed graphic pornography, some involving 8-year-old boys, according to court records.
Webb from Woodbridge, Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC, had embarked in Norfolk, Virginia for the cruise on May 16, 2009. The ship went to Bermuda and returned on May 21. He was arrested June 8, 2009.
Webb, a Marine Corps military police officer was sentenced to six months in jail in the civilian court on March 16, 2000 for having had sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy he met over the Internet.
The incident took place in August 1999 resulting in Webb's arrest after security guards at Potomac Mills Mall said they found him in a parked car engaging in sexual contact with a boy. That sexual contact was sodomy.
Webb was convicted on Mar 16, 2000 in Prince William Circuit Court for the crime of "CRIMES AGAINST NATURE (SODOMY)." Prince William County Circuit Court Judge LeRoy F. Millette Jr. sentenced Timothy David Webb who was 22-years-old at the time, to five years in jail and suspended all but six months of the sentence.
Webb plead guilty in military court to a charge of "Sodomy On A Minor Child" and for having receipt and possession of child pornography by use of his personal computer. The military judge sentenced Webb to a dishonorable discharge, confinement for 10 years, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and reduction to pay grade E-1.
Webb appealed his military convictions for possession of child pornography, and the sentence for those crimes were set aside because the military judge did not hear Webb say that the depictions he both received and possessed were depictions of actual children.
