Brick man gets 27 years for child pornography charges
A Brick man was sentenced to 27 years in prison this week after pleading guilty in Federal Court to child pornography charges. The defendant made a video recording of a 14-year-old girl engaging in sexually explicit conduct. According to the release by the United States Attorney's Office, the defendant coerced the minor into performing sex acts so he could videotape them. His sentence was approximately 3 years shy of the maximum sentence he could have received on these charges (30 years). Further, based on the federal system, the defendant will serve almost his entire sentence without being eligible for parole.
