Wareham man sentenced to five years in prison for child pornography offenses, must pay $132k to victims
'Roe's crimes of receipt and possession of child pornography are not victimless crimes. Rather, they cause real and significant harm to children and their families,' federal prosecutors wrote. 'None of the minor victims in this case are abstractions or objects — they are real people who experienced sexual exploitation for these pictures or images to be distributed and possessed.' Investigators targeted Roe after South African authorities arrested a person sharing child pornography over the internet and then had a police officer pose as that person, records show. Advertisement Roe was a member of a large group of people who swapped and sold child pornography that was monitored by the undercover officer, according to federal prosecutors. Roe's electronic identifiers, including his telephone number, were found by the officer, records show. In September, Advertisement Investigators submitted thousands of the images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which identified 518 individual children, records show. Thirty victims are seeking restitution from Roe and 44 submitted victim impact statements under seal to the court. According to court records, Roe agreed to pay 25 victims amounts ranging from $3,000 to $7,500 based on the number of images of them that investigators found. He refused to pay $10,000 each to five other victims, records show. In court papers, defense lawyers said Roe had never been convicted of a crime but acknowledged he deserved a prison sentence. 'Mr. Roe agrees with the government that his actions justify a sentence of five years incarceration, five years supervised release, and restitution,' his court-appointed attorneys wrote. Roe will also have to register as a sex offender once released. In 2012, He was found guilty on a charge of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 in January 2015, but was acquitted in 2017 after a second jury trial, court documents show. Roe has been working a variety of carpentry jobs in recent years and was living with his parents at the time of his arrest, court records show. John R.
