100 child porn counts pleaded down to 1
*Fair Hill man will serve three years, banned from Internet

Tuesday, April 3, 2007 8:37 AM EDTBy Carl Hamilton cahamilton@cecilwhig.com

A Fair Hill man facing 100 counts of child pornography will serve three years in the county jail after pleading guilty Monday to one count of the charge.

Jeffrey Alan Wesley, 49, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography with intent to distribute as part of a binding plea agreement in Cecil County Circuit Court.

In a binding plea agreement, the sentencing judge honors the conditions negotiated by prosecutors and defense lawyers.

Judge O. Robert Lidums imposed a maximum 10-year sentence, suspending seven years of it, and ordered Wesley to serve five years of supervised probation upon his jail release.

Lidums ordered Wesley to register as a child sex offender and forbade him from using the Internet, which, according to prosecutors, was the source of his child pornography.

Wesley will serve his three-year term in the Cecil County Detention Center, where he will be eligible for the work-release program. The judge allowed Wesley to remain free on $15,000 bond until April 9, giving him time to prepare for incarceration.

Assistant state’s attorney Kevin B. Urick and Wesley’s lawyer, C. Thomas Brown of Elkton, negotiated the deal.

Wesley’s guilty plea related to a video showing an adult man performing a sex act on a prepubescent girl, who was screaming, “No,” Urick said.

Police investigators found that video on Wesley’s home computer, which was equipped with file-sharing software, Urick added.

An anonymous tip in March 2005 led Maryland State Police’s Computer Crimes Section to investigate Wesley, according to police.

A tipster told police that Wesley was hosting parties at his home, where he allegedly displayed child pornography on his computer, police said. Guests were able to view the material, police added.

Using the anonymous tips to get a warrant, police searched Wesley’s home at 3700 Telegraph Road on March 10, 2005, he said. Police seized two computers.

A Cecil County grand jury indicted Wesley on March 22, 2006, the same day police arrested him at his home without incident.

I pray this man's heart will heal through the grace of the Holy Spirit, and that he might completely change, since nothing is impossible with God. I pray for his victims, as well, and that they too receive the healing touch of Christ.

I pray first for his victims, but if he does accept the great gift of God, salvation and a healing I still would expect he receive the consequences of his actions, justice on this earth. But that has not been seen, society has not gotten justice in this case, and it's very doubtful that he is repentant. He could repent, God could bring him to his knees, but his victims are scarred for life, we know that victims often become abusers and they suffer for the rest of their life from these types of crimes. They are sweet children and the Bible says that if anyone should harm one of His little ones it would be better to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea. I'll stand with this kind of justice, the Bible gave warning, I take God at His word. My God is a God of justice as well as forgiveness, mercy and love.
