A Simi Valley, California man who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in Los Angeles was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison.
Lee Michael Robertson was indicted by a federal grand jury in 2009 after he was found to be a subscriber to a website that sold child pornography through an initiative known as the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography. They are dedicated to fighting commercial child pornography on the Internet by stopping illegal websites from using their systems or products to receive customer payments. The FBI's Innocent Images Unit and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement assisted them in identifying commercial child pornography websites.
In December 2009, Robertson pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to 42 months in prison and five years of supervised release, with sex offender conditions. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 to two known victims of the documented child pornography series.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Task Force in Ventura, California, which includes a detective with the Thousand Oaks Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
