Chico Man Faces 50 Years for Child Pornography
A federal grand jury has indicted Joshua Landon Klipp, 32, of Chico, on eight counts of child pornography charges, including production, receipt, and commission of a felony offense involving a minor.
According to court documents, between May 13, 2013, and July 10, 2013, Klipp persuaded a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing images of those acts and for the purpose of transmitting live visual depictions of that conduct.
Klipp received these images from the minor, as well as other images through the Internet between March 20, 2013, and September 18, 2013.
As a registered sex offender, Klipp’s actions are a clear violation of California Penal Code Section 290, which requires him to register as a sex offender after being convicted of sex offenses involving a minor in 2009 in Butte County.
The case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Chico Police Department, and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Assistant United States Attorney Kyle Reardon is prosecuting the case.
If convicted of producing child pornography, Klipp faces a maximum statutory penalty of 25 to 50 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If convicted of receiving child pornography, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of 15 to 40 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the DOJ to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc.
