Raymond Leake, 34, entered the plea Monday during a hearing in
U.S. District Court in Huntington
Leake now faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20
years in prison, along with a $250,000 fine. He will be sentenced in October.
Prosecutors say Leake collected more than 600 pictures and
videos of children having sex or performing sexual acts. The child pornography
was found on Leake’s computer after he downloaded it from the Internet.
Members of the Federal Cybercrimes Task Force arrested Leake at
his home in the 1000-block of Monroe
Avenue
“Pedophiles like Mr. Leake who download and trade images of
child pornography over the Internet are perpetuating crimes that involve the
exploitation of innocent children. I will be relentless in prosecuting them,”
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said.
