Registered Sex Offender Sentenced to 10 Years for Possession of Child Pornography
HOUSTON, Texas – Carlos Entenza, 49, of Katy, has been ordered to prison for 10 years following his conviction of possession of child pornography, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson.
Entenza pleaded guilty on January 6, 2015, and today, U.S. District Judge Gray Miller handed him a sentence of 120 months in federal prison. Entenza will serve 20 years of supervised release following completion of his prison term, during which time he will have to comply with numerous requirements designed to restrict his access to children and the Internet.
He will also be ordered to continue to register as a sex offender.
Indicted on June 9, 2014, Entenza later appeared for a detention hearing before a U.S. Magistrate who found Entenza to be a danger to the community and ordered he be detained.
The investigation revealed Entenza was making child pornography available to others through the use of peer-to-peer software over the Internet. An FBI agent downloaded a video of child pornography from the files Entenza was making available online.
A search warrant was executed on October 24, 2013. At that time, agents seized computer media including external hard drives which led to the discovery of more than 250 digital images and approximately 380 videos containing child pornography.
Entenza will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
These charges were the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI Innocent Images Task Force. The case, prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sherri L. Zack, was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the United States government to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
