Port Lavaca Man Convicted of Receipt and Possession of Child Pornography
VICTORIA, TX-Roselio Garcia, 54, of Port Lavaca, Texas, has been convicted
of receiving and possessing child pornography, acting United States Attorney
Tim Johnson announced today.
At a hearing late yesterday, May 18, 2009, before United States District
Court Judge John R. Rainey, Garcia pleaded guilty and admitted that on April
10, 2008 he possessed 49 pornographic images of known victims of child
pornography as identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children (NCMEC), 411 images of unknown victims of child pornography and
five videos containing child pornography. Garcia also admitted to receiving
an image of child pornography over the Internet using a file sharing
program.
The possession of child pornography which had been mailed, shipped and
transported in interstate and foreign commerce, carries a maximum sentence
of 10 years imprisonment. Receipt of child pornography which had been
mailed, shipped and transported in interstate and foreign commerce, carries
a sentence of not less than five years nor more than 20 years imprisonment.
Each of the counts of conviction also carry a maximum $250,000 fine and any
term of years up to a life term of supervised release during which the court
can require the defendant to register as a sex offender, obtain treatment
and any number of other conditions designed to protect children and to
prevent further receipt/possession or distribution of child pornography via
the internet.
Garcia's ownership and possessory interest in the computer system and hard
drive which contained the images and videos of child pornography is to be
forfeited.
Judge Rainey has set sentencing for Aug. 17, 2009. Garcia, who has been in
federal custody without bond since his March 2009 arrest, will remain in
federal custody pending sentencing.
The investigation leading to the charges was initiated in mid-2008 by the
Corpus Christi Police Department, Computer Crimes Unit, after receiving
information from investigators at the Louisiana State Attorney General's
Office regarding several provocative photographs which included a truck
bearing a Texas license plate. That license plate number lead CCPD and the
FBI to identify Garcia as the registered owner of the truck. Further
investigation by CCPD and the FBI then lead to a search warrant for Garcia's
house, where he lived with his family, including young children. As a result
of the search a computer system and hard drive containing the child
pornography were immediately seized and information that lead investigating
agents to learn that Garcia had a problem with viewing pornography for
several years which progressed to his viewing pornography on computer,
usually late at night when everyone was asleep. Garcia's child pornography
folders were protected with a password, but Garcia was unable to stop
"popups" of adult pornography on the computer. On the day of the search,
Garcia admitted to being involved in the receipt of child pornography.

"Another possibility, rarely understood by first-time defendants, but well
known to those with lengthier police records, is that once you plead guilty,
which becomes public record and part of your police criminal justice
dossier, you are more likely to be rearrested, and are easier to
convict." -Federal Prison Review
