According to the indictment, Goth allegedly transported child pornography using various means, including his computer and the internet, between April 12, 2018, and December 29, 2020. Furthermore, the indictment alleges that Goth knowingly received and distributed child pornography between May 1, 2017, and May 13, 2021, by using the internet and other means.
The charges are serious, with a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, life of supervised release, and up to $200 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
