Revere Man Gets Two Years in Prison for Child Pornography Conviction
Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office announced sentencing today for a Revere man charged with possession of child pronography.
Josue Molina, 30, was convicted on two counts of dissemination of child pornography and three counts of possesion of child pornography by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Brian Davis on October 3 after a five-day, jury-waived trial. He was arraigned on August 27, 2012.
Molina was sentenced to two years in the House of Correction, along with three years of probation to be served upon release. He will be required to register as a sex offender and submit to GPS monitoring. He will not be allowed to posses any electronic devices with Internet access, and will only be allowed to access the Internet for work-related reasons approved by the Probation Department. He must also undergo sex offender treatment.
In March of 2012, State Police conducted an online investigation to identify individuals possessing and distributing child pornography through file sharing networks. Molina was arrested April 4, 2012, after State Police obtained a search warrant authorizing the search of his residence. Molina had been sharing child pornography via a file-sharing service.
