Online Child Porn Peddler Pleads Guilty
Roy Mark writes in internetnews.com:
A Washington, D.C., man is facing up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges of using the Internet to distribute and receive child pornography.
In a Friday afternoon plea deal, Bruce Schiffer, 34, admitted to one count each of using his computer to advertise, transport, receive and possess child pornography. The minimum sentence is 15 years with a maximum prison term of 30 years.
According to the FBI, Schiffer advertised his collection of approximately 11,000 images and movies of child pornography and erotic depictions of children on Internet relay chat (IRC) channels, including the "100%preteenboysexpics" channel.
"Pedophiles who think the Internet is a safe haven for the sexual exploitation of children are dead wrong," Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher said in a statement. "We will find and punish those who prey on our nation's youth."
During a raid on Schiffer's home in June, authorities seized several computers; a large quantity of storage media, including videotapes, CDs, DVDs and floppy disks; and a clown suit.
