Sentence affirmed -- Defendant was convicted of receiving child pornography and was sentenced to twelve years in prison. Defendant argued that the district court inappropriately enhanced his sentence two levels for sadistic or masochistic content, and two levels for using a computer. The Court of Appeals said that record was clear that the material received by defendant included sadistic or masochistic images. The Court also noted that defendant not only used a computer to receive child pornography, but also used it to send the contraband to minor girls. The Court also rejected defendant's other challenges to his sentence (none of which dealt with forensics issues) and affirmed the district court's rulings.

Conviction Reversed — During a computer forensics examination for alleged fraud, multiple images of child pornography were discovered on defendant's computer. A second search warrant was obtained and a federal forensics examiner eventually uncovered over 150 images of child pornography. Defendant was ultimately charged with one count of "knowingly received and attempted to receive one or more visual depictions [of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct]," i.e., two Web site banners containing sexually explicit images of children.

Jaime Aguirre, a 43-year-old Ohio medical imaging technician accused of taking hundreds of surreptitious nude and semi-nude photos of patients at Advanced Medical Imaging in Tiffin, Ohio, pleaded "no contest" to 15 child pornography charges in a Portage County courthouse. Additional child pornography and voyeurism charges were filed against Aguirre in Seneca County (where AMI is located) after a forensic examination of his home computer revealed more patient photos. Police also found hundreds of photos and video recordings of women made in various public locations near Aguirre's home. Bond for the Seneca County charges was set at $750,000.

When the Berkshire County District Attorney's office in western Massachusetts loaded a CD of larceny evidence onto its computer, it found more than it expected: a computer file folder with 153 images of child pornography, as well as photos and a video of a male masturbating in front of a computer. The room in the video was one the district attorney had seen before: the evidence room at the Adams Police Department.

In Wisconsin, a high school freshman has been charged with multiple felony counts stemming from the discovery of dozens of nude and semi-nude female classmates and girls from surrounding schools.
