Uniontown man convicted of possessing 1,181 images of child porn

A Uniontown man who admitted to having more than 1,181 images and videos of child pornography on his home computers was sentenced to serve more than three years in prison Monday.

Jason A. Early, 41, was sentenced to three years plus one month in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release after his conviction of possession of materials depicting the sexual exploitation of minors, according to U.S. Attorney Scott W. Brady.

Early was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Donetta Ambrose in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh

Homeland Security was conducting a nationwide investigation in October 2017 and was led to Early’s home, according to information presented to the court.

Officers reported that they obtained and executed a warrant at Early’s residence and seized his computers. A forensic examination of the devices discovered 1,181 images and videos of child pornography, including images and videos of toddlers, according to Brady.

Early admitted to viewing child pornography through peer-to-peer programs and to storing it on his computer.
