For The Citizen
Trent Alan Young, 40, ofPasadena
The federal charges brought against Young are the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspections Service with assistance from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Sentencing is set for Dec. 3, 2008. Young will remain in custody awaiting his sentencing.
The investigation was initiated in November 2006, when Young entered an undercover website and ordered two DVDs containing child pornography. In order to purchase the two DVDs, Young used his name, home address, e-mail address and a credit card number. Records showed that Trent Young was a temporary worker for Everyone’s Internet as a data center technician.
On Jan. 10, 2007, postal inspectors delivered the two DVDs to Young at hisPasadena
A forensic analysis was conducted on the computers and found in excess of 13,000 images containing child pornography and more than 700 videos containing child pornography. There were images involving prepubescent children under 12 years old engaging in oral sex, sexual intercourse and bondage.
Young faces a sentence of at least five years up to 20 years, without parole, and a fine up to $250,000 for receipt of child pornography. Upon completion of any prison term imposed, Young also faces a maximum of life on supervised release during which the court can impose a number of special conditions designed to protect children and prohibit the use of the Internet.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
