Man, Age 72, Gets 30 Years For Child Porn

September 19, 2012

A 72-year old Santa Rosa County man has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for child porn.

Joseph Richard Robson, Sr. received the sentence after he pleaded guilty to production and receipt of child pornography.

According to his plea, special agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI), with the assistance of members of the Northern Florida Internet Crimes against Children Task Force (ICAC), executed a federal search warrant at Robson’s residence. Agents seized a number of computers, cameras, storage devices, and other items.

Forensic analysis revealed that, during 2010, Robson “used, persuaded, induced, enticed, or coerced an eight-year old child to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct”, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Between 2010 and 2012, Robson received and stored approximately 6,085 files that contained images and/or videos of child pornography, the DOJ said.

As part of his sentence, Senior United States District Judge Roger Vinson also imposed 10 years supervised release, with the conditions that Robson attend sex offender treatment and that he register as a sex offender.

    Child molestion is the 1 thing that destroys families for the rest of their (Victems) lives. I say if you molest a child & your way older like 10 yrs or more older. U get the death sentence. I will personally pull the handle. People dont understand their selfish sexual acts cause mental illnesses that last a lifetime. Unfortunately not thiers. Sadly , Molested children are usually a sighn of the molesters past as well. I was molested gives them the right to continue it? Hell no. If i was raped as a teen or child that doesnt give me right to do it now. I pray you who feel it ok to do such things as this, Wait till its redone to u once youve arrived in your spot in your next life. They surely dont know or have a conciuos. I do. I wish i was the judge & jury of all who has committed this to children. In the old days u didnt get a chance to plead your case. Didnt have the problems we do today.

    This perverts life is almost over, no telling how long this creep has been doing this, so now he finally got caught, and an innocent child has to go the rest of their life reliving what this dirty man did . Prison is to good for this scum. He should not be allowed to eat sleep or breathe.

    Sentenced to federal prison. Probably get isolation unlike state prison. Nice color tv. ac and heating. Law library to appeal sentence.
    On the other hand he’ll be 102 when he gets out. Lol

    They should bring the rope back for people like that.

    Well at least this one was stupid enough to keep proof on his camera and computers. Thats about the ONLY way these disgusting perverts are prosecuted. I pray for the 8 year old child and the family of the child. Let this piece of garbage rot in jail, and yeah I too hope ALL of the inmates give him what he deserves!

    he will get his in prision.

  9. Confused on September 20th, 2012 7:03 am

    I’m confused? So, does he go to prison? Or 10 years supervised?
    I’m thinking, let the mom an dad of the eight year old
    Have him to do whatever they feel is punishment enough!
    Some sick people in this world.

    Im agree with Fred.

    If I read this correctly, he not only downloaded CP, but made a movie too? I’m a little surprised that he survived to face the judge. If it had been my 8 year old child, I don’t believe he would.

  12. dad on September 19th, 2012 9:56 am

    I think they should let the parents of the eight year old girl have a “SHOT” at him……

  13. Bill on September 19th, 2012 8:36 am

    He deserves the death sentence, and he practically got it. lol

  14. Reaper on September 19th, 2012 8:10 am

    Brad!!! Come on! That is a death sentence to this old pervert. GOOD RIDDENCE.

  15. Gmh on September 19th, 2012 6:50 am

    Am I missing something? Says he was sentenced to 30 years, he is 72 and the judge imposed a 10 year supervised release after counciling. When does Supervised release start? After the 30 or immediately?

  16. 102thenew20 on September 19th, 2012 6:16 am

    What was the 10 years supervised release for again??? so when he is 102 he can be set free as long as be attend sex offender treatment? … sounds good to me… can’t be too careful with those centennials ya know.

  17. Anna on September 19th, 2012 6:10 am

  18. Brad on September 19th, 2012 4:04 am
