US attorney criticizes sentence for Brookfield man dealing in child porn

CLEVELAND

A Brookfield man who pleaded guilty to receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet has been sentenced to 16 years and eight months in federal prison, followed by 15 years of parole.

During a two-hour hearing Wednesday, that punishment was imposed on Brian J. Radachy, 51, of Warren-Sharon Road, by U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver Jr.

Michael A. Sullivan, the assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting the case, objected to the sentence, saying the prison term should have been between 30 and 40 years in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines.
