I hope his other victims are found, cause you just know there were more, and that gets maximum sentences for each and every one.

Congratulations and a shout out to LE!!

From the link:
According to the Department of Justice, a first-time offender convicted of producing child pornography faces fines and 15 years to 30 years in prison.

Time for states to toughen those laws.

From the Monterey Herald article linked above:

"Assistant District Attorney Terry Spitz said the criminal charge, "possession, sales or distribution of obscene matter which depicts persons under 18 years of age," is considered a wobbler offense, which means it can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor.

While simple possession of child pornography can net a year in county jail, a distribution conviction can mean six years or more in prison.

Cabrera said it was likely some of those arrested will face federal charges, while others will be tried in Monterey County court."

A year in county jail for possession of child pornography?!?!?!?! They have to be kidding. :banghead:

SALINAS, Calif. -
David John Stevens, a Salinas man accused of videotaping himself sexually molesting children and uploading it on the Internet, died from flu-like symptoms after he became ill in the Monterey County Jail, sheriff's deputies said.

Stevens, 58, was arrested on 37 counts of child molestation in May after an international manhunt. If convicted, he would have faced 100 years in prison.
