He got off the registry in 2014.

The Brentwood man faces 28 felony counts of child pornography.

Therrien is a convicted sex offender who pleaded guilty to attempted rape in 2004 and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and probation.

The terms of his probation included that he was to register with Megan's Law for 10 years, have no unsupervised contact with children and no access to the internet unless through an employer.

Channel 11 obtained court paperwork that says Therrien's wife told police that, "His internet activity was supposed to be monitored by his probation officer."

Agents say Therrien was using a second computer in the house that might have been kept secret from his wife and probation officer.
