SCRANTON—A Monroe County man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing child pornography, announced the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Jonathan Brownlee, 42, of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment on November 5, 2020, by U.S. District Court Judge Malachy E. Mannion for possessing child pornography.
Brownlee previously pleaded guilty to using cell phones and laptop computers to access images and videos of child pornography. He committed the offense between August 2017 and April 2018, in Monroe County.
Brownlee committed the offense after having previously been convicted of receiving and distributing child pornography in 2012.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, Brownlee’s guilty plea was a result of his actions, which showed a blatant disregard for the law and the well-being of children.
Judge Mannion also ordered Brownlee to serve 10 years on supervised release following his prison sentence, undergo sex offender treatment, and to comply with the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Francis P. Sempa prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
