A Geauga County man was sentenced to over 11 years in prison for sharing videos of children being raped and sexually assaulted.
John S. Mobasseri, 40, of Novelty, Ohio, was sentenced to 136 months in prison after previously being found guilty of distribution of images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and possession of child pornography.
Mobasseri received and distributed images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct between 2009 and 2017, according to court documents.
The files include titles such as “10Yo Preteen Raped (Incest).mpeg” and images such as children being blindfolded and sexually assaulted, as well as children being bound and masked while being sexually assaulted, according to court documents.
U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman stated, “These are cases with real victims, children whose lives will be forever changed because adults assaulted and violated them. We will continue to work to prosecute those who re-victimize these children by sharing and downloading these images.”
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S Attorney Michael A. Sullivan following an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security – Homeland Security Investigations and the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Mobasseri’s sentence serves as a reminder that those who engage in such heinous crimes will face severe consequences.
