ROCHESTER — A 40-year-old Rochester man who was convicted of possession of child pornography, was sentenced this week to 97 months in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Marangola, who handled the case, stated that the investigation began when law enforcement officers discovered the downloading of child pornography related to a website and a particular user name. The investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at Pedro Cruz’s residence. Forensic previews of some computer-related items seized from the defendant’s residence revealed thousands of images of child pornography on a laptop computer, thousands of images of child pornography on a desktop computer, over 30,000 images of child pornography on an external hard drive, and over 20,000 images of child pornography on various CDs and DVDs.
