Saint Paul Psychiatrist Pleads Guilty To Receipt Of Child Pornography


United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald today announced the guilty plea of AVIEL LI GOODMAN, 62, to one count of receipt of child pornography. GOODMAN, who was initially charged on February 20, 2018, pleaded guilty earlier today before U.S. District Judge Joan N. Ericksen in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

According to the defendant’s guilty plea and documents filed in court, on multiple occasions between March 1, 2015, and August 27, 2017, undercover law enforcement agents downloaded numerous image and video files depicting child pornography from IP addresses connected to GOODMAN’S Saint Paul residence. On January 17, 2018, upon execution of a search warrant on GOODMAN’S residence, law enforcement agents seized a computer containing more than 20,000 child pornography files.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Katharine T. Buzicky and Carol M. Kayser.
