David H. Six, 56, of Elyria, was charged with possessing child pornography, said Carole S. Rendon, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
The Indictment charges that on or about August 27, 2015, images of child pornography were found on a PNY thumb drive in Six’s possession.
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Carol M. Skutnik. The case was investigated by the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Cleveland Office.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
