LANCASTER, TEXAS, MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO FEDERAL Defendant Downloaded and Shared 800 - 1,000 files of Child Pornography
According to documents filed in the case, Jackson admitted using the Internet and peer-to-peer file-sharing software to share and transmit images of child pornography to undercover agents on at least four separate occasions in 2010. When FBI agents executed a federal search warrant at his home in March 2011, they seized his computer which he used to facilitate his possession, receipt and distribution of child pornography. When interviewed, Jackson admitted that he has downloaded and shared approximately 800-1,000 files of child pornography, including images of children as young as eight to 10-years-old, engaged in sexual acts, and that he had approximately 100 “friends” with whom he was sharing files. He admitted knowing that some of the images and videos included images of prepubescent minors and material that portrayed sadistic and/or masochistic conduct. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI and the Plano, Texas Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lisa J. Miller is in charge of the prosecution. .
