In San Antonio today, a federal judge sentenced 24–year-old
Paul Martinez to 12 years in federal prison for distributing child pornography,
announced United States Attorney John F. Bash and Federal Bureau of
Investigation Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio Division.
Senior United States District Judge David A. Ezra also
ordered that Martinez pay $5,000 restitution to any identified victim and be
placed under supervised release for a period of five years after completing his
prison term.
Martinez pleaded guilty to the charge in October of last
year. By pleading guilty, Martinez
admitted he exchanged child pornography using the Internet in January 2016.
In September 2016, federal authorities executed a search
warrant at the location where Martinez was residing and seized his desktop and
laptop computers as well as his cellular telephone. A forensic examination of the computers and
phone revealed numerous video and image files depicting prepubescent children
engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
The FBI investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorney Tracy Thompson
prosecuted this case on behalf of the Government.
