Man Admits Posting Child Porn on Website

A man has agreed to plead guilty to transporting child pornography after admitting to taking sexually explicit photos of a boy and posting them on a website, authorities said Thursday.

Joseph Stoterau, 27, of Orange faces up to 20 years in federal prison for taking the digital pictures of the boy, who was younger than 16 at the time. The images were found on the hard drive of a computer seized at Stoterau’s home in August, according to the U.S. attorney.

Stoterau claimed on the website that the teenager was 18 and could be hired for sex, the U.S. attorney’s office said. He is scheduled to appear in court on Monday for assignment to a judge who will take the guilty plea.
