A Johnstown man has been sentenced to 63 months in prison for possessing child pornography, according to federal authorities.
William Jay Clark, 34, was sentenced in federal court to a total of 63 months in prison followed by five years’ supervised release on his conviction for possessing material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor, United States Attorney Cindy K. Chung announced today.
Senior United States District Judge Kim R. Gibson imposed the sentence on Clark.
According to information presented to the court, on February 23, 2017, Clark knowingly possessed pictures and videos in individual computer graphic files which were produced using prepubescent minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. The computer graphic files were shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
Assistant United States Attorney Arnold P. Bernard Jr. prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
Ms. Chung commended the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations for the investigation that led to the successful prosecution of Clark.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the government to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
