A 26-year-old Mexican citizen was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing child pornography, according to authorities.
David Flores-Torres, who resides in Dunkirk, NY, was convicted of possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor and sentenced to 120 months in prison and 30 years supervised release by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo.
The investigation revealed that Flores-Torres’ Samsung Galaxy S3 cellular telephone contained 79 images and 14 videos of child pornography, some depicting prepubescent minors or minors less than 12 years-old, as well as depictions of violence.
The defendant also received and distributed images constituting child pornography from and to others with whom he communicated using a cellular telephone and the internet.
Furthermore, Flores-Torres disclosed that he engaged in sexual contact with two minor victims under the age of 18 on three occasions during 2017 and 2018.
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy V. Murray handled the case, and the government advocated for a sentence of between 14 and 17.5 years in prison, which was the sentencing range recommended under the United States Sentencing Guidelines.
The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Kevin Kelly.
