A Rock County Judge says a 10-year prison sentence will teach an Evansville man that his habit of viewing Internet child porn is not a victimless crime.
Judge Karl Hansen told 38-year-old Chase Leal sentenced Leal for continuing to download and view multiple images of children being sexually assaulted in January using a phone he was not allowed to have.Gay porno
Leal was on probation in a 2018 child porn case when he was caught by police with a phone that had child porn on it.
Court papers say Leal claimed he only had images of naked children being sexually assaulted because they were “pop-ups” that were attached to pornography featuring adults.
Hansen said the next time Leal’s hand reaches for a cellphone, he should think about his past role in supply and demand in a part of the porn industry that Hansen says destroys children’s lives.
Leal probably won’t be looking at a phone anytime soon. His sentence bars him from using electronic devices and the Internet during prison, and during 10 years of parole after he’s released. Signup now to receive news, contests, and special offers delivered right to your inbox!
