FORT GRATIOT, Mich. (FOX 2) - Four months after he got out of prison for possessing child porn, a Michigan man was again caught with it, authorities said.
Jacob Jeffrey Baron, 34, of Fort Gratiot, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, United States Attorney Dawn Ison said Friday.
Baron was released from prison in October 2021 and was under supervision after he was convicted of possessing child porn.
According to the Department of Justice, after his release, he admitted that he possessed and uploaded files of child pornography involving pre-pubescent children engaged in sex acts to Dropbox. That admission was part of a plea deal. Agents later found 191 child pornography images on Baron’s phone.
