A Brunswick man was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for having more than 100,000 images and 1,000 videos of child sex abuse, said U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman.

 

Scott M. Wroten, 54, was sentenced to 136 months in prison after previously pleading guilty to receiving and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

 

Wroten knowingly received approximately 136,000 computer files which contained visual depictions of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, including sexual abuse and beastiality. These files were collected between 2011 and 2016, according to court documents.

 

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael A. Sullivan following an investigation by the Cleveland office of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Brunswick Police Department and the Wickliffe Police Department.
