Quentin Nelson, 32, of Corcoran, California, Charged with Receiving and Possessing Child Sex Abuse Material on Phone

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment today against Quentin Nelson, 32, of Corcoran, charging him with receiving and possessing prepubescent child pornography, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, on Dec. 25, 2020, Nelson received and attempted to receive child pornography. Nelson also possessed numerous images and videos of prepubescent child sexual abuse materials on a phone and an SD card.

This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristin F. Scott is prosecuting the case.

Quentin Nelson faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count, if convicted. However, any sentence would 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.

The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the federal government to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
