SACRAMENTO — A repeat sex offender from Chico was given a 10-year prison sentence Friday.
According to a press release issued Friday by the Eastern District of California’s United States Attorney’s Office, Jason Morgan, 46, of Chico was found to be in possession of child pornography in 2020 while under federal supervision from previous convictions related to distributing the materials.
Morgan had also previously been found guilty of using a minor to engage in sexual activities for producing the materials.
“This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse,” the press release reads.
