Jefferson Man Pleads Guilty to Receipt of Child Pornography, Faces 5-20 Years in Prison

A 57-year-old man from Jefferson, Louisiana, has pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Donald Trosclair, a resident of Jefferson, pleaded guilty before United States District Judge Martin L.C. Feldman on December 18, 2018.

Trosclair was previously charged with receipt of images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children, in violation of 18 U.S.C. ’ 2252(a)(2). The charge carries a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years, a fine of up to $250,000.00, between five years and life of supervised release after imprisonment, and a mandatory $100 special assessment.

According to court documents, Special Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) determined that Trosclair was accessing a forum located on the internet whose singular purpose was to act as a child pornography bulletin board and website dedicated to the advertisement and distribution of child pornography and the discussion of matters pertinent to the sexual abuse of children.

Law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Trosclair’s residence on February 28, 2018, and seized several electronic items including a laptop computer, a desktop computer, an external hard drive, and several discs that were determined to contain images and videos depicting the sexual victimization of children.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation then conducted a forensic review of the seized devices and determined that Trosclair had used the devices to search for, download, and save approximately 11,175 images and 6 videos of child pornography between April 2011 and February 2018. Trosclair stored the images and videos in folders he created on his computers, external hard drive, and loose storage media, to catalogue and organize the files.

The materials possessed by Trosclair were of prepubescent children as young as less than three (3)-years-old and depicted the child victims engaging in “sexually explicit conduct,” as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2256.

Trosclair faces a mandatory minimum of five (5) years and a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty (20) years, a fine of up to $250,000.00, between five years and life of supervised release after imprisonment, and a mandatory $100 special assessment. Sentencing before Judge Feldman has been scheduled for December 19, 2018.
