OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) - Abel Garcia-DeLeon has been sentenced on Friday to ten years in prison for conspiring to receive and distribute child pronography, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Garcia-DeLeon admitted to using the social media application KIK to receive and distribute sexually explicit images of minors. He along with another individual formatted “rage-bots” that instructed KIK users to send videos containing child pornography to join another group where more child pornography is distributed. He pleaded guilty to all charges on June 9.
In a plea agreement, Garcia-DeLeon admitted to distributing child pornography to the group. From May 8, 2020 to May 20, 2020 authorities believe the group contained ten or more individuals.
