A Jamestown man has pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography.

U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. on announced the plea Friday, which was made by 50-year-old James Tracy before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Roemer. Tracy has a prior conviction for aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse, or abusive sexual conduct involving a minor.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David J. Rudroff, who is handling the case, stated that between June 13 and Aug. 18, 2018, Tracy allegedly received three images and 10 videos of a 15-year-old minor victim. Tracy solicited the minor victim, a relative, to produce some of the images via Facebook.

In December 2018, Tracy told Homeland Security Investigation Special Agents that several years prior he had engaged in oral sexual contact with the 15-year-old-minor victim on at least three occasions.

Investigators conducted a forensic review of Tracy’s electronics and discovered 51 images of child pornography on Tracy’s LG cellular telephone. Some of the images included depictions of violence.

In February 1995, the Jamestown man was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse, and in March 2001, he was convicted of first-degree attempted sexual abuse. Both victims were under the age of 18.

The new charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, a maximum of 40 years, and $250,000 fine.

Sentencing will be scheduled at a later date.
