U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Jeffrey Duncan, 31, of Rochester, New York, was sentenced to five years in prison and 25 years’ supervised release for possession of child pornography by U.S. District Judge Charles J. Siragusa.

Assistant U.S. Attorney John J. Field, who handled the case, stated that the defendant used his computer to obtain and view hundreds of images of child pornography over the Internet. The images included depictions of minors being subjected to violence.

Fresno, CA
United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced that two defendants in separate cases were sentenced today for child pornography offenses. Assistant United States Attorney Jeremy R. Jehangiri prosecuted both cases.

U.S. v. Montoya:
In the first case, Chief United States District Judge Anthony W. Ishii sentenced Jimmie Joe Montoya, 59, of Clovis, to nearly four years and nine months in prison for possession of material depicting a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Following his prison term, Montoya will serve 15 years of supervised release. According to court documents, Montoya possessed on his computer more than 600 images and videos depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Many of the minors depicted were prepubescent.

U.S. v. Green:
In the second case, Judge Ishii sentenced Edward Joseph Green, 44, of Fresno, to seven years in prison for receiving visual depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Following his prison term, Green will serve 15 years of supervised release. According to court documents, Green received on his computer more than 600 images and videos depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The images and videos also involved the portrayal of sadistic, masochistic, and other depictions of violence, and many were of prepubescent minors.

Washington, D.C.
Jean Frederic Godoc, 29, of Paris, France, has pled guilty to one count of traveling to the United States to have sex with an under-aged child and one count of transportation of child pornography.

Godoc faces a statutory maximum of 30 years in prison for the crimes.

Newark, NJ
Rocco Martino, 43, of South Orange, New Jersey, was sentenced today to 84 months in prison for making available images and videos of prepubescent children being sexually abused—sometimes violently—to others over the Internet, U.S. Attorney Fishman announced.

Martino, a doctor who recently practiced internal and sports medicine in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, pleaded guilty in January 2012 to an information charging him with one count of receipt and distribution of child pornography. He entered his guilty plea before U.S. District Judge Williams H. Walls, who also imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
