Larry Stephen, 46, pleaded guilty on March 25 to one count each of distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said in a statement on Wednesday.
U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for June 26.
In August 2023, Stephen was indicted by a federal grand jury. He was previously arrested and charged by criminal complaint on July 18, 2023.
According to the charging documents,
Authorities identified Stephen as a man using a social media platform to receive and post child pornography, according to the charging documents.
On June 7, 2023, a search warrant was executed at Stephen’s home in Marlboro, where Stephen’s cell phone was seized.
A preliminary examination of the cell phone revealed the presence of child pornography, prosecutors said. Stephen “repeatedly” posted images and videos of child pornography videos on a social media platform.
For each of the two charges, possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography, Stephen faces a sentence of at least five years and up to 20 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
