CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – A Mexican citizen who had been living in Corpus Christi has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson. 27-year-old Rogelio Alfaro Carrillo pleaded guilty on February 4, 2016.
Today, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos ordered he serve a total of 72 months in federal prison. He was further ordered to serve 10 years of supervised release following completion of his prison term. During the hearing, the court heard testimony from an agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) who testified that some of the images and videos depicted children as young as four years old engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Carrillo will also be ordered to register as a sex offender.
At the time of his plea, the court heard that officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD), while using peer-to-peer software, were able to successfully download of various files containing child pornography from an IP address that was associated with Carrillo.
In August 2015, agents executed a search warrant at Carrillo’s residence, at which time they seized various electronic devices. Forensic analysis on those devices revealed more than 1,400 images and more than 20 videos of child pornography. Carrillo admitted having an sexual interest in children and having downloaded child pornography.
Carrillo will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
HSI conducted the investigation with the assistance of CCPD – Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
This case, prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Hugo R. Martinez, was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
