A former United Nations researcher told a federal judge that he viewed horrific images of child porn simply because he was curious.Yeah, just a curiosity.
"Stop rationalizing your actions," Judge Paul Gardephe said to Jose Antonio Ortega-Osona, as he meted out the punishment Friday.
"Your problem is not mere curiosity."
Ortega-Osona was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for possession of child pornography.
The images included a photo showing the genital mutilation of a 2-year-old girl.
"Horrific," the judge said. "Abhorrent to the court."
The 42-year-old researcher was busted in Canada in 2009 for toting a flash drive with 800 illegal photos.
A search of his home turned up a computer packed with 4,800 photos and 108 video clips of child porn.
A shame this scumbag got such a light sentence.
