Placeholder Image

A 54-year-old Turlock man was sentenced to federal prison Monday for possession of child pornography.

Charles Albert Risley was sentenced to 15 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release, the Department of Justice reported.

Risley received more than 600 images of child pornography between July 20, 2012 and Sept. 1, 2012. Many of the images depicted prepubescent minors, and several depicted violence or sadistic or masochistic conduct, according to the DOJ.

Risley previously spent six years in prison for a 1993 conviction of committing lewd acts with a child under age 14. He was convicted in 2004 in Stanislaus County for possession of child pornography.

While serving his term of supervised release, he will be required to register as a sex offender, and his access to computers, minors, and the Internet will be restricted. 

Risley has been in custody since Oct. 12, 2012.  This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Ceres Police Department.
