Scott James Rocky was a border agent in Michigan for over seventeen years. He frequently reposted rightwing memes. Ironically, he shared a news story about Steven Hoffenberg’s death. Hoffenberg was Jeffrey Epstein’s mentor and banker. He pleaded guilty to possessing child sexual abuse imagery.
Scott has a forty-year history of serving with the National Guard, the Transportation Security Administration and Customs and Border Protection. Nonetheless, after his arrest for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse imagery, he was held without bail due to his efforts to delete files and hide evidence from FBI investigators. The prosecutor emphasized that Rocky had reason to flee and also lived next to two schools where he could pose a risk to children.
Investigators found over four thousand images of children between four and ten years old who were sexually abused and exploited to create sexual abuse imagery. He also distributed over five hundred files to the FBI’s undercover agent.
He pleaded guilty to one charge, with the others dismissed. His sentencing will be in March 2026.
