JASON GORISS Sentenced to 12 Years for Child Exploitation, Wallingford CT, 2023
A Wallingford man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for possessing images and videos of child sex abuse.
According to court documents, 49-year-old JASON GORISS, last residing in Wallingford, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson in Hartford to 144 months of imprisonment, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for possessing images and videos of child sex abuse.
The case against GORISS began in November and December 2018, when he possessed four images and five videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The images and videos included depictions of prepubescent children, and at least one image of bondage.
Goriss shared some of the images and videos on an internet-based blog. On February 8, 2023, GORISS pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
Goriss has a history of similar offenses. In state court, he was convicted of having illegal sexual contact with a minor and was sentenced to eight years of incarceration, with three years to serve, and 15 years of probation for that offense. He was also charged with sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor pending in state court.
The federal penalties were enhanced based on Goriss’s prior conviction. The federal investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Wallingford Police Department, with the assistance of the Office of Adult Probation. The case was prosecuted by Nancy V. Gifford with cooperation from the New Haven State’s Attorney’s Office.
The sentencing is part of the U.S. government’s Project Safe Childhood Initiative, aimed at protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. If you suspect a case of child exploitation, please visit www.cybertipline.com to report it.
