Cristian Brown was convicted by a jury of seven counts of possessing child pornography.
WEST CHESTER, PA —A 21-year-old West Chester man was sentenced Tuesday in the Chester County Justice Center to seven to 15 years in state prison after being convicted of possessing child pornography.
Cristian Brown was also ordered by Judge Patrick Carmody to serve 11 years of probation following the prison term.
“By using the dark web to further his predatory behavior of children the defendant was able to obtain and possess hundreds of the most horrific images of child pornography,” District Attorney Deb Ryan said after the sentence was handed down.
“Each one of these images is a real victim who will suffer these indignities and violations indefinitely.”
According to Chester County detectives, a total of 700 images of child pornography were on one of the computers used by the defendant.
The library of images recovered depicted child victims between the ages of 2 and 14 years old who were sexually assaulted.
