TRENTON—Eric Breisacher of Princeton,
New Jersey, was sentenced today to 78 months in prison for possessing more than
600 images of child pornography on a computer located in his residence in
September 2009, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Breisacher, 48, previously pleaded
guilty before U.S. District Judge Anne E. Thompson to an information charging
him with one count of possession of child pornography. Judge Thompson imposed
the sentence today in Trenton federal court.
According to documents filed in this
case and statements made in court:
Breisacher acknowledged that among the
images of child pornography he possessed were images that depicted minors
engaging in sexually explicit conduct with other minors and adults, including
material portraying sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of
violence.
In addition to the prison term, Judge
Thompson sentenced Breisacher to five years of supervised release and ordered
him to pay $40,000 in restitution to the identified child victims.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited the
Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Mercer County
Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini, Jr. and special agents of the FBI’s Cyber Crimes
Squad assigned to Innocent Images, under the direction of Special Agent in
Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, with the investigation that led to today’s
sentence. He also thanked the New Jersey Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory
for its role in the case.
