Cerritos Man Who Admitted to Distributing Child Porn Will Be Sentenced Today

 

STAFF REPORT

In May 2012, Cerritos resident Gerald Patrick Beaver was found to have over 6,000 images and more than 450 videos of child porn on his laptop computer.

The discovery followed a search warrant served at his home, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In his plea deal, Beaver admitted to distributing the illegal material to undercover investigators in New Zealand and Oklahoma over the internet using a file-sharing program.

Beaver faces at least five years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release and mandatory registration as a sex offender, according to the plea agreement.
