Beaumont,TX
A 66-year-old Covington, Louisiana man has pleaded guilty to child
pornography violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S.
Attorney John M. Bales today.
Charles Edward Reese pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce child
pornography and wire fraud today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zack
Hawthorn.
According to information presented in court, on February 1, 2012,
federal officials conducted a search warrant at a home in Orange County,
Texas after receiving information from an Internet-based image hosting
website reporting that a customer had uploaded digital images from a
cell phone that contained sexually explicit conduct of a young child and
an adult. An investigation revealed that although the adult in the
photos was deceased, another person identified as Charles Reese had been
paying money for several years in return for digital pictures of
sexually explicit conduct involving minor children. On March 12, 2012, a
search warrant was executed at Reese’s home in Covington, during which
multiple child pornography images and videos were discovered. Financial
records indicate Reese paid over $700,000 between 2004 and 2012 for the
production of child pornography.
Sacramento, CA
Justin Sturn, 30, of Redding, was arrested on Wednesday by the FBI
after a federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment charging him
with sharing child pornography.
According to court documents, on February 22, 2012, Sturn e-mailed
videos containing depictions of the sexual exploitation of children.
This was discovered because of a tip sent to the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipLine.
