John Michael Mann was the Oregon Chief Administrative Law Judge who supervised the sixty judges who would decide cases between citizens and regulatory agencies. He was charged with encouraging child sex abuse which is what Oregon charges people who receive or possess child sexual abuse material. I think that really highlights what the result of possession of CSAM ends with. No one can possess CSAM without children being abused.
He pleaded guilty just before the trial and was sentenced in May 2023 to 38 months in prison and 5 months probation.
