This is good news.....
Megans Law sex offender sentenced to 31 years in prison
The Titusville man was convicted of 10 counts of sexual abuse of children.
A Titusville man already listed as a sex offender under Megans Law was sentenced to 31 years in jail for viewing child *advertiser censored* on the Internet and storing the images on a family members computer. Jeffrey L. Dean, 41, was convicted in November of 10 counts of sexual abuse of children for possessing child *advertiser censored* and one count of criminal use of a communication facility. He was sentenced by President Judge H. William White last week to 102 to 382 months in prison followed by 10 years probation. He must also pay $1,100 in fines. Dean, who was determined to be a sex offender after a 1996 conviction for indecent exposure, was reclassified as a sexually violent predator, the most serious classification of sex offender, following a recent Megans Law hearing.
Deans attorney, Venango County Public Defender Amy Johnston, said she plans to file an appeal in the case.
Dean used a computer ..(snip).... to view pornographic pictures of children, store them and share them with other Internet users, assistant district attorney James Carbone said at Deans trial.
(snip)
Police were alerted to the images after Dean admitted during a group counseling session that he had been viewing child *advertiser censored* on the computer and having contact with young children, which usually consisted of saying hello in passing and not reporting the interactions with his counselor.
Johnston admitted at the trial that Dean viewed the pictures but said he did not mean to save them to the computer. ...(snip)...
A jury of five men and seven women deliberated for less than an hour before finding Dean guilty on all counts.
