A Month in Jail For Rochester Man Convicted of Child Porn
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man has been sentenced to a month in jail and five years on probation for a child pornography conviction.
44-year-old Jon Anthony Jones previously entered a guilty plea to one count of possession of child pornography. In exchange, the Olmsted County Attorney's Office agreed to dismiss nine other felony child pornography charges.
He was charged as a result of an investigation launched by the Rochester Police Department in August of last year. Based on a cyber tip, a search warrant was executed at Jones' home and the criminal complaint says more than 1400 images and two videos depicting child sexual abuse were found on the devices.
The court document indicates some of the files were of a child as young as two years old. The complaint also states that Jones admitted to investigators that he sought out and viewed some of the child sexual abuse materials.
