Jason Solomon, Distributing Child Pornography, California 2019

A 43-year-old man from Stockton, California, has pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography, a crime that can have severe consequences.

Jason Solomon, a 43-year-old resident of Stockton, California, was involved in distributing child pornography, a serious crime that can result in imprisonment and fines.

According to court documents, in July 2016, Solomon used social media to send images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct to a then-15-year-old girl. Additionally, in January 2018, Solomon possessed images of child pornography, some of which depict the sexual molestation of infants.

This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian A. Fogerty is prosecuting the case.

Solomon is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley on January 17, 2019. Solomon faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, and a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, 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.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

The case against Solomon serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting children from exploitation and abuse. It is a step forward in the fight against child pornography and a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who work tirelessly to bring perpetrators to justice.
