A Clarksburg, West Virginia man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the distribution of child pornography.
Christopher Anthony Castillo, 32, received the lengthy sentence after admitting to receiving and distributing a variety of sexually explicit images depicting minor victims.
According to court documents, Castillo repeatedly received and distributed child pornography, prompting an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the West Virginia State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and the Clarksburg, West Virginia Police Department.
Castillo pled guilty in November 2015 to one count of ‘Receipt and Distribution of Child Pornography’.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Vogrin prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, with U.S. District Judge Irene M. Keeley presiding over the hearing.
The lengthy prison sentence handed down to Castillo serves as a stark reminder of the severity of crimes involving child exploitation.
