Lodi man Jarod Perdichizzi, 30, has pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography in California courts.
According to court documents, Perdichizzi used the Kik messenger service in July 2016 to chat online with someone who was an undercover federal agent. He sought information on how to become sexually active with a minor female and emailed images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct to the agent.
After executing a federal search warrant at Perdichizzi’s residence, agents found a thumb drive containing 88 images and nine videos of child pornography. Perdichizzi has been in custody since his arrest on July 28, 2016.
This case is the product of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew D. Segal is prosecuting the case.
Perdichizzi is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez on June 13, 2017. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The actual sentence will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
