Pedro Rosales: Allegedly Tried to Convince Kid to Take The Rap for His Child Porn
A Houston man caught with a computer full of child porn tried to convince "a juvenile family member" to take the rap for it, the U.S. Attorney's Office says.
Pedro Rosales: That must have been some other body.
Pedro Rosales, 32, thought "that if the juvenile claimed the images/videos, the family member would not be prosecuted because of age," prosecutors say.
The stand-up scheme didn't work, sadly for him; he's been indicted and is now being held without bond pending trial.
An investigation found that Rosales was making child porn -- which included bondage scenes -- available to others on the web via peer-to-peer software.
They got a warrant for his Houston residence and "seized a computer which upon forensic examination was found to contain more than 600 digital images and approximately 36 videos of child pornography," the USAO says.
He faces child-porn distribution charges, which carries a minimum five-year prison term and a maximum of 20 years without parole.
