Sidney man with child porn receives prison sentence
DAYTON — A Sidney man who kept more than 12,000 child pornography images on his computer was sentenced Friday, June 11, to 84 months in federal prison.
Carson Trader, 62, who appeared before U.S. District Senior Judge Walter H. Rice, had pleaded guilty Sept. 18, 2008 to one count of possession of child pornography.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) went to Trader’s home March 6, 2007 while following up to a child pornography investigation that started in Michigan, according to a statement facts filed with the plea agreement.
Agents found images on the computer, then took it to the Miami Valley Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory, where analysts found more than 12,000 pornographic images of children, some depicting sadistic and masochistic conduct or violence. Trader downloaded some images over the Internet and acquired other images by trading with individuals online, according to Carter M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
After his release from prison, Trader will be placed under lifetime court supervision. He will also be required to register as a sexual offender in any jurisdiction where he lives, works or is a student and to register with his new jurisdiction within three days if he moves.
Trader was ordered by the Court to obtain sex offender treatment while incarcerated and during his supervised release from prison. He must also perform 100 hours of community service and was ordered to have no to contact with minor children.
