Illegal Charged With Child Pornography: ‘Go Ahead and Deport Me’
An illegal immigrant charged with distribution and possession of child pornography told a district court commissioner this week to “just deport me” following his arrest, according to information revealed during his bond-review hearing Wednesday in Washington County Circuit Court.
Cristian Alexander Magana, 19, of Beachley Drive, Hagerstown, is charged with six counts of promoting or distributing child pornography and 15 counts of possession of child pornography, court records said . . .
Assistant Public Defender Sean Mukherjee asked Myers to set “an extremely reasonable bond” for Magana, telling the judge that the defendant has lived in Hagerstown for about a year with an aunt who depends on his financial support.
Mukherjee told the judge that Magana’s alleged downloading of child pornography was mechanically not much different than illegally downloading music from a file-sharing service . . .
On Tuesday, March 10, a Maryland state trooper downloaded six files from an Internet address linked to Magana using a file-sharing service, according to the application for statement of charges. (Read more from “Illegal Charged With Child Pornography: ‘Go Ahead and Deport Me'” HERE)
