Erie, Pa. – In a resounding victory against pedophiles, Bruce Johnson, 61, of Erie, Pennsylvania, has been handed down a five-year prison sentence and seven years of supervised release for violating federal laws concerning the sexual exploitation of children. United States Attorney Soo C. Song made the announcement today.
United States District Judge David S. Cercone presided over Johnson’s sentencing, imposing the harsh penalties for his despicable actions. According to court documents, Johnson was found with computer images and movies that showed minors engaged in explicit sexual conduct.
The prosecution of this case was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold on behalf of the government. The Department of Justice has commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police for their relentless pursuit and successful conviction of Johnson.
Bringing justice to such heinous crimes is a cornerstone of Project Safe Childhood, an initiative launched by the Department of Justice in 2006. This nationwide effort coordinates federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who exploit children, while identifying and rescuing victims.
