North Oxford Man Sentenced for Possession of Child Pornography
BOSTON, MA—A North Oxford man was sentenced yesterday in federal court for
possession of child pornography.
Acting United States Attorney Michael K. Loucks and Warren T. Bamford, Special
Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Boston Field Division and Chief
Michael J. Boss of the Oxford Police Department announced today that JOHN CORAN, age 51,
of North Oxford, Massachusetts, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor, IV to
46 months' imprisonment, to be followed by five years of supervised release. CORAN pled guilty
to possession of child pornography on June 17, 2009 pursuant to a plea agreement.
At the plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the
Government’s evidence would have proven that in 2006 and 2007, CORAN purchased
subscriptions to web sites devoted to child pornography. After searching CORAN’s North
Oxford home, agents found several photo albums filled with images of child pornography and
numerous still images depicting child pornography. The images depicted minors under the age
of 12, posing nude or engaged in sexual acts with one another. CORAN obtained the images
from the Internet.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Oxford Police
Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Karin M. Bell of Loucks’ Worcester
Branch Office.
