A Corvallis man has been ordered to spend nearly two decades in federal prison after admitting he shared thousands of images and videos showing the sexual abuse of children. On Tuesday, a judge sentenced 41-year-old Blaine Garrett Reposa to 19 years in federal custody, followed by supervised release for the rest of his life. Investigators had seized multiple electronic devices from his home in 2024 and found the illegal material at the center of the case.
According to federal prosecutors, a grand jury in Eugene indicted Reposa in September 2025, and he later pleaded guilty to one count of distributing child pornography. Authorities say he sent the material to people online, as reported by KATU.
"This repeat offender has continued to exploit and victimize children who have already endured profound abuse," U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford said in a written statement announcing the sentence, according to the outlet. Prosecutors said the length of the prison term reflects both the sheer volume of material recovered and the ongoing harm to victims when abuse images are circulated online.
Court timeline and docket
The federal case surfaced on the Eugene court calendar this spring, which shows a sentencing entry in mid-June 2026. The docket lists a June sentencing date for the case, along with earlier plea-related hearings in 2026 tied to Reposa's federal court files. Those entries appear on the official calendar for the Eugene courthouse, available here: U.S. District Court calendar.
Prior conviction puts the sentence in context
Reposa is not new to federal child-exploitation cases. Court records and a Department of Justice press release show he was previously convicted in Montana in 2015 for similar conduct and received a five-year federal prison sentence. That earlier case is part of the reason prosecutors labeled him a repeat offender in the Oregon proceedings. Details of the Montana conviction are outlined in a prior release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Montana.
Legal context
Under federal law, distributing or receiving child sexual abuse material typically carries a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 20 years for a first offense. Prior qualifying convictions can increase potential penalties. Judges can also impose lengthy or lifetime supervised release and order restitution payments to victims. These provisions are outlined in the Department of Justice plain-language guide to federal child-pornography laws.
Prosecutors said Reposa's sentence is part of broader efforts to target people who traffic in child sexual abuse material and to protect those already victimized, a priority they say is pursued through coordinated work among federal, state and local agencies.
