Man's massive child porn collection included newborns

Not much I can say about someone like this. The article says it all.

A Central Florida man who had a massive child-pornography collection that included victims as young as newborns was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison Wednesday.

Tony Guerra, a former food-services worker at what was then called Disney-MGM Studios, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of receiving and distributing child pornography.

In 2007, investigators found more than 5,000 images and videos of child pornography on Guerra's roommate's computer. In court documents, an investigator estimated the oldest of the children in the images was no more than 6.

During Wednesday's hearing, FBI Special Agent Nick Savage called Guerra's child pornography "the largest collection of infants and babies I've ever seen."

"This was an extremely shocking collection of child pornography," he said.

The FBI began investigating Guerra, who was living in Kissimmee, Fla., after receiving a tip from Australian authorities.

Investigators recovered Internet chats from the computer where Guerra and more than 30 other people discussed child pornography.

Guerra told others his preferred age was zero to 12 years old and that he likes hearing children scream. In one chat, Guerra referred to wanting a 2-year-old. Guerra also suggested a man go to Disney to look for girls.

Investigators learned that Guerra persuaded a man in Australia to sexually abuse his 6-year-old daughter and 6-month-old granddaughter, record the abuse and share it with him.

Several of the people Guerra communicated with also have been arrested.

Guerra made a brief statement and told the judge, "I'm sorry for what I did."

A psychologist testified that Guerra had both motor and social delays throughout his life, he is socially awkward and never developed normal relationships with males or females.

The psychologist said that at some point, Guerra became interested in pornography and then progressed to viewing child pornography.

Guerra showed little emotion throughout Wednesday's testimony and often held his head down. He appeared to briefly cry during a recess when a woman in the courtroom called out that she loved him.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Gable asked U.S. District Judge Mary S. Scriven to sentence Guerra to 20 years in prison.

Defense attorney Peter Warren Kenny asked the judge to sentence Guerra to the minimum — five years. He said Guerra is an "extremely damaged young man" who needs treatment.

Scriven accepted Guerra's plea agreement and ordered him to serve 130 months in prison. After prison, Guerra will be placed on probation for life.
