FORMER OWNER OF LOCAL PATHOLOGY LAB /PROFESSOR
SENTENCED TO MORE THAN 5 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON
FOR CHILD PORN CONVICTION
United States Attorney Richard B. Roper announced that Paul Gillespie Greenlee was sentenced late yesterday by the Honorable Barbara M.G. Lynn, United States District Judge, to 63 months imprisonment and ordered to pay a $12,000 fine. Greenlee, 50, pled guilty in September to count one of a superseding indictment that charged possession of child pornography in interstate commerce. Judge Lynn also ordered that upon his release from prison, Greenlee serve a five-year period of supervised release and register as a sex offender. Judge Lynn ordered that Greenlee surrender to the Bureau of Prisons on May 19, 2006.
According to documents filed in court, Greenlee admitted that sometime in early 2001 and continuing through January 16, 2004, he knowingly possessed CD-Roms that contained movie files and images of child pornography. Included in the images were visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
For more than three years, Greenlee amassed an extensive collection of child pornography. During this time, he also adopted four Russian boys, at least one of whom was similar in age and appearance to the boys depicted in Greenlee’s collection of child pornography.
All evidence obtained in this case was obtained when agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dallas Police Department executed a search warrant at his residence on January 16, 2004. Greenlee, who was present at the time of the search, showed law enforcement the child pornography which he kept locked in a file cabinet. Greenlee stated that he received the child pornography from a friend who lived in Oklahoma who brought him CDs when he drove to Dallas for visits.
United States Attorney Roper praised the investigative efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dallas Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Aisha Saleem.
