SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Mark A. Richards, 49, of Sacramento,
was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. to 17 years
and six months in prison to be followed by 10 years of supervised release for
advertising child pornography, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, in January 2018, Richards made
child pornography available over a peer-to-peer file sharing network and
provided passwords to undercover officers who asked him for access to his
files. On two occasions, January 7, 2018, and January 11, 2018, those
undercover officers in locations outside California obtained child pornography
from Richards.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew G. Morris prosecuted
the case.
