Cleveland police officer pleads guilty to federal child pornography charges [View all]
Cleveland police officer pleads guilty to federal child pornography chargesA Cleveland police officer admitted Monday to federal charges that accused him of downloading more than 1,000 videos and photos of child pornography.
Brandon Crites, 33, must serve at least five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to receiving and distributing child pornography, as well as possessing it.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys did not strike an agreement about how much additional time Crites should serve. They opted instead to argue that point during sentencing on Aug. 6 in front of U.S. District Judge Donald Nugent.
Crites agreed to pay $10,200 under the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act and to register as a sex offender when he’s released from prison. He will remain in federal custody until his sentencing.
