Pottstown Man Gets 10 Years In Prison For Child Porn: Judge

POTTSTOWN, PA — A Pottstown man will spend the next decade behind bars after being convicted of child porn charges, authorities said.

Shawn Koskinski, 34, also was sentenced with 15 years of supervised release once he gets out.

Kosinski used a file sharing network called GigaTribe to distribute and download both images and videos of children performing explicit sex acts, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Investigators found 235 videos and 920 images on his computer showing prepubescent children engaged in sex acts, bondage, and bestiality, authorities said.

Kosinski pleaded guilty to charges of distribution, possession, and receipt of child porn in January.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer B. Jordan prosecuted the case and U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone handed down the sentence.
