United States v. Boroczk, No. 12-1022 (7th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseBoroczk has five children and, between 2006 and 2008, approximately 300 still images and multiple videos of his three- to five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son engaging in sexually explicit conduct. In addition, authorities found approximately 8,452 still images and 186 videos of child pornography on Boroczk’s computer. He was charged with possessing child pornography, 18 U.S.C. 2252A(a)(5)(B), and with manufacturing child pornography, 18 U.S.C. 2251(a). Boroczk admitted to taking pornographic pictures of his kids, to touching them sexually, and sending pornographic images over the internet. Although he initially claimed that he did not think he had done anything wrong and that his children seemed to be having a good time, his level of remorse later “dramatically improved” and a doctor stated that Boroczk’s clinical prognosis for successful long-term rehabilitation was excellent. Another doctor noted research showing that incest sexual offenders recidivate at a lower rate than extra-familial sexual offenders. The government argued that all of the relevant sentencing factors favored the maximum possible sentence, 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). The district court imposed a 70-year sentence. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, noting that Boroczk had described himself as a “kingpin” of child pornography.
