DALLAS - A Irving, Texas, man was sentenced this morning by Chief U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis to 216 months in federal prison and 10 years supervised release on a child pornography conviction, announced U.S. Attorney John R. Parker of the Northern District of Texas.
Josue Osorio-Canales, 30, entered a plea of guilty in July 2015 to one count of transporting child pornography.
According to documents filed in the case, between Jan. 31, 2015 and Feb. 14, 2015 law enforcement identified a computer on a network sharing child pornography. A search warrant was executed on June 2, 2015. The analysis of the computer revealed over 1,400 videos and 21,000 images of child pornography.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative, which was launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice, to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals, who sexually exploit children, and identify and rescue victims.
