Dillion Montana Child pornographer meets Western justice Corey Daniel Martinez kiddie porn

Child porn gets

Cory Daniel Martinez of Dillon Montana time in the big house!

If you are after our kids you are going to prison old west style!  That is the message for Cory Daniel Martinez who was caught with 34 files of suspected child pornography.  Corey likes watching pre-pubescent children having oral sex.  And if that is not enough, he likes watching older guys do it with kids.  And if that were not enough, he even likes watching little kids in bondage.

The tragedy, of course, is Corey probably did not learn this all by himself in the 26 years he has been on this Earth.  He probably had good teachers.  What the people of Montana did, along with help from the FBI and local law enforcement, was give this young man some serious time to think about what he was doing with his life.  He can think about how his actions might be lining the pockets of scum who don't think twice about destroying the life of a 8 year old.

"with child pornography fans, the problem gets worse over time"

Corey says his porn problem started in 2005.  Somehow he decided happiness was in down loading pictures of little girls.  As usual, with child pornography fans, the problem gets worse over time.  Many who enjoy looking at pics of children move on to acting out what they see on the silver screen.

Project safe childhood gets the credit again.  Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.  It is led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet. Report a child at risk.

Likely, Corey got caught using peer to peer file sharing, a popular technique of child porn fans.  That is what happened to Brian Paul Cossey of Kalispell, Montana. 

U.S. Attorney Cyndee L. Peterson said they found a picture of an approximately 8-year-old girl with her hands duct-taped to her ankles while being raped by an adult male and then penetrated by foreign objects on Brian's computer.

Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigated that case.  They were advised of an IP address which was tracked to Cossey.  They found files previously identified as containing child pornography available for download between February and April 2008.

"Where Corey is going penetration by adult males is fairly common"

The new prison where Corey will likey be a guest is at Hardin, Montana, and it is tough.  It is a state of the art prison with some special features.  There is some interesting news about the Hardin prison that might affect Corey.  Some pictures of the prison are included in this post, the picture of the inmate who has met his untimely death did not occur in Montana, but it could happen in places where violence is king and kiddie porn is not.

It all came to an end on October On October 21, 2008, when the cops broke down Corey's door. Inside his place they found a laptop computer and some disturbing images. In addition to the acts mentioned above, Corey was jacking off to pictures of little kids masturbating.  There was a picture of an adult man penetrating a child. Where Corey is going penetration by adult males is fairly common.

One day Corey will be a free man, though subject to supervision. We can only hope his short time to reflect and a program of rehabilitation helps him in controlling his impulses and protects our little ones.

Corey Martinez heard his fate on February 5, 2010.  U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy let the 26 year old Dillon, Montana man off with a slap on the wrist.  The fan of child pornography gets 24 months in prison, it could have been 20, a $100 special assessment, he loses his laptop computer and he has supervised release for 10 years when he gets out.  That is if he gets out.  Prison old west style for kiddy porn lovers can sometimes be fatal.

Child pornographer caught after 18 years, kiddy porn hidden in secret compartment

Sex offender on the run for 18 years caught

He left kiddy porn in a secret compartment

Ricky Randall Rex Smith walked off of a construction job and left his truck and home made trailer parked at a house. The trailer had a hidden compartment and inside the compartment was kiddy porn. That was in 2005. Rex Randall was arrested in 2006 and charges filed in 2007. He has been fighting the child pornography charges since then.

"The jurors were waiting to be empanelled"

Today, Rex Randall Smith was due for trial for producing, transporting and possessing visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The jurors were waiting to be empanelled. Opening statements would soon follow.  In a surprise move, Rex Randall decided to take a plea.

Rex Randall Smith admitted to United States District Judge W. Keith Watkins of his filming the sexual abuse of children he was caring for including a 3 year old girl. Rex Randall Smith was in Longview Texas in May of 2000 when most of the filming occurred. The pedophile also admitted to transporting videotapes into Dale County, Alabama in 2005, which is where the truck and trailer were when the child porn was discovered. , U.S. Attorney Leura G. Canary.

"Smith brought the videotapes across state lines"

A subsequent plea hearing was held today in front of Federal Magistrate Judge Susan R. Walker, Title 18, United States Code, Section 2251(a) makes it a crime for any person to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, or coerce an individual who has not attained the age of 18 to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of that conduct. The crime in this case was completed when Smith brought the videotapes across state lines, thereby invoking federal jurisdiction.

This was not Rex Randall Smith’s first time around on child pornography charges. When he was 23 he was convicted for sodomy of a child under 14. He had been a fugitive from justice for nearly 18 years. The man who steals the youth of innocent children used a variety of aliases to keep out of the clutches of the law.  He kept on the move and lived in multiple states, including Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, California, Texas and Alabama. It was in Louisiana where he finally met the law once again.

"a variety of law enforcement efforts were involved"

As is typical in child pornography cases, a variety of law enforcement efforts were involved, including agents from the FBI, Ozark Police Department and the Hartford Police Department. The 55 year old is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Nathan D. Stump and Brandon K. Essig.

Project Safe Childhood, which is led by United States Attorneys’ Offices, joins federal, state and local resources to bring child molesters who exploit children individuals who exploit children via the Internet to justice. Project Safe Childhood also is dedicated to rescuing the victims of on-going child pornography. www.projectsafechildhood.gov/

 

Ricky Randall Rex Smith will have a long time to think about the lives he has ruined. The minimum sentence for producing child pornography is 15 years. Because he has a prior conviction he may get life under the ‘two strikes and you are out’ law, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3559(e). Likely the plea made today was done so on the chance the judge will be lenient. There is also a hefty fine to be paid in the amount of $250,000 should the child molester and child pornographer see life as a free man.

California man who "did" 15 year old will now do 10 years to life

"I met her on the internet"

Sexual predator travels cross country to molest

15 year old

California man who did a 15 year old will now do 10 years to life

Jason Michael Wood met a girl on the internet he liked very much. In fact he was so infatuated with her he traveled from Chino Hills, California to Western Michigan in order to have his way with her. Woods had a problem, however. His new girl friend was only 15 years old and he knew it. That makes Woods a pedophile.

Child molesters have their own society. After all, they can't have a relationship in the normal fashion. Imagine what mom and dad would say when their 15 year old daughter introduces them to her new 31 year old boyfriend. If it happened in the wrong part of the country dad would chase the fool down the drive way with his shotgun at the ready.  In other situations, the predator gets free room and board in the state pen.

Instead of meeting the folks, Woods set up camp in a motel. He then picked up his new girlfriend from school each day and took her to his motel room for fun and games. He quickly returned her before classes let out so the folks back home would not get wise. Meanwhile, the parents thought their child was in school and out of the reach of predators.

"He faces 10 years to life"

The truth usually comes out and in this case it did. Woods was arrested and pled innocent to the charges. However, on January 06, 2010, Woods changed his plea and will shortly stand before the court for sentencing. He faces 10 years to life, depending upon the mood of the judge and the mitigating circumstances if there are any. Assuming Woods walks free again, he will have to register as a sex offender and undergo supervised probation.


Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils R. Kessler prosecuted the child moleter.  Having sex with minors, even if they are a few years short of the age of consent, will be dealt with sternly.  Robbing a child of her innocence, even if the child is an active and willing participant, is an unforgivable crime. 

"Both will suffer untold consquences"

The youth does not have the capacity to understand the implications of the affair, and the perp does not have the will power to resist his impulses.  Both will suffer untold consquences.  At least the perpetrator will not have the opportunity to do it again.

Police officer pleads guilty to possession of child pornography

Police officer guilty of child pornography

Officer David Courtney Childers, Horny County

Not even police officers get away with possessing images of children having sex.  David Courtney Childeers, a Horny County police officer, pled guilty to possession of child pornography.  He is awaiting sentencing.

The FBI went into action against a guy who likes to share his collection of kiddy porn after a June 2008, undercover operation revealed him as a suspect.  Childers and other perpetrators used peer to peer sharing to trade their dirty little secrets.

Peer to peer sharing, or p2p, is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, songs and pictures, from one computer user to another without necessarily posting it on the net for all to see. Popular file sharing programs include gnutella http://wiki.limewire.org/index.php?title=GDF, gnutella2 or g2 http://g2.trillinux.org/index.php?title=Main_Page, emulehttp://download.cnet.com/eMule/3000-2196_4-10225243.html?tag=mncol;lst, Kaza  http://www.kazaa.com/and Bit Torrent  http://www.bittorrent.com/btusers/what-is-bittorrent

Peer to peer file sharing may be implemented in a variety of storage, transmission, and distribution models. Common methods are manual sharing using removable media, centralized computer file server installations on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, and the use of distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) networking.

"P2P sharing is perfectly legal" 

P2p sahring is perfectly legal.  However, it has been frequently used for illegal means.  One of the most famous cases was Napster, sharing music for free which was subject to copyright.  Child porn users have been p2p of late in order to trade their fare with less risk of getting caught.

  "Contact was made with a suspected perp who was offering to share his collection of child porn"

Illinois FBI agents went undercover using the identification of a known and trusted child pornographer.  Contact was made with a suspected perp who was offering to share his collection of child porn.  Agents downloaded the child pornography, and traced the communication back to officer Childers. 
 
Shortly thereafter the officers had officer Childers in custody along with his computer.  A brief search of the computer memory revealed the kiddy porn.  It was also quickly determined that Childers was a member of law enforcement and employed as a police officer with Horry County.

The office of United States Attorney Kevin F. McDonald issued a press release stating that they got one of the bad guys.  Childers pled guilty in federal court to possession of child pornography, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A(a)(5)(B). Assistant United States Attorney William E. Day, II, of the Florence office handled the case.

United States District Judge R. Bryan Harwell accepted the plea and will sentence Childers at a later date.  The maximum penalty Childers can receive is a fine of $250,000.00 and imprisonment for 10 years.  Possession of child pornography and trading it on the net, even with a degree of privacy, is illegal.  Those fighting the exploitation of a minor and kiddy porn have won another round.

Two girls rescued from child porn fiend

Six year old child sexually molested

Rescuers find two children, 

using a beer can a glasses

Cross border cooperation puts bad guys away

Law enforcement from two countries worked together to put a child molestor where he can't hurt widdle gurls anymore.  Canadian authorities spotted pictures of a six year old girl having sex with an adult male. Since the kiddy porn pics were new, the authorities were optimistic they could catch the pedophile. Fresh pictures means fresh leads and a new child in danger from child porographers. 

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police found the child porn images and sent them to the Toronto Police Services. After analysis, a blurry beer can from a rare manufacturer was seen. The beer is only made in the Northeastern U.S. This information was sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, also known as NCMEC.

At the same time, investigators from the Bellfast, Maine Police department and the State Police from Maine discovered the images. After analyzing the dirty pictures they discovered the child in the  pornographic photo wore eyeglasses. This information was sent to the NCMEC. Law enforcement from the U.S. and Canada began a cooperative effort to find the little girl. 

The Beer can and eye glasses helped narrow down the location of the perpetrator. The manufacturer of the beer said their special brew was distributed in six states only, including New York and Maryland. The manufacturer and model number of the glasses were quickly identified.

After these encouraging leads, a team of very dedicated investigators started in on the pain staking foot work required to track down a man who did evil things including having sex, with children. On August 1, 2008, a special agent from the New York using the Innocent Images National Initiative Program opened the case and began canvassing ophthalmologist in the six state region where the beer was distributed.

Bingo! After three weeks of hard work an eye doctor in Maryland recognized the child and called FBI agent Michael Sabric in the FBI New York Office. As it turned out the child had been in the doctor's office that very day! It was her first day of school.

Sabric organized a surveillance team and they set up on the house where the girl lived. When she came home from school the agents were able to identify her from her photo as the victim. At that point a search warrant was easy to get.

Special Agent Rachel Corn from the Baltimore Cyber Squad met with a judge and obtained the warrant. At 10:00 p.m. the police were knocking on the door of a man who steals the youth from children. The Cyber team assembled a forensic child interviewer, a victim assistance representative the evidence response team and together they made the bust.

It didn’t take long to get to the bottom of the matter. The child identified two perpetrators and both men were arrested. In October, one of the men involved was sentenced to 45 years in prison for sexually exploiting a minor and producing child pornography. His accomplice had already received a 36-year sentence.

In the old days one branch of law enforcement didn’t know what the other was doing. Today, not only is U.S. law enforcement cooperating, but law enforcement on both sides of the border work together to put those who exploit children down for good.

Not every child abduction and pornography case ends with rescued children.  In this case, two children were found to be victims, the 6 year old and her sister.  The investigators who worked hard to stop kiddy porn, child abuse, and sexual exploitation of a minor were relieved to bring suffering victims of child pornography to safety.
