Corpus Christi Man Sentenced for Possession of Child Pornography
A 31-year-old Corpus Christi man has been ordered to federal prison following his conviction for possession of child pornography, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson.
Jason Thomas Dreyer pleaded guilty to the charge on December 5, 2013. Today, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos handed Dreyer a sentence of 60 months in prison to be followed by 10 years of supervised release.
Under the terms of his sentence, Dreyer will also have to obtain sex offender treatment and will not be permitted contact with minor children without adult supervision. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
In December 2012, Dreyer was identified through an undercover investigation as an online user who was offering child pornography for distribution. Detectives successfully downloaded child pornography from Dreyer’s computer over the next two months.
Dreyer later admitted to downloading and viewing child pornography on the Internet through file sharing software. A forensic evaluation of his computer led to the discovery of numerous images and more than 100 videos of child pornography.
The majority of the images and videos were of prepubescent females engaged in sexually explicit conduct, primarily oral and vaginal sex with adult males. Dreyer was permitted to remain on bond and voluntarily surrender to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations and the Corpus Christi Police Department – Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lance Duke prosecuted the case, which was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
