Man who sought sex slaves guilty in porn case
ERIE, Pa. (AP) — A federal court jury has taken just 90 minutes to convict an Erie man on child pornography charges, after hearing testimony that he chatted online with the mother of a 4-year-old girl about his desire to breed a “society” of sex slaves.
Thirty-two-year-old Jeremy Noyes was indicted in 2008 on charges he possessed child pornography, but his case was distinguished by chats with the New Zealand woman.
Noyes denied putting the images of 41 children on his computer, saying instead they were planted there by his girlfriend who went to authorities after learning about Noyes’ sex colony ideas.
Noyes’ attorney has argued the chats were pure fantasies and his mother tells the Erie Times-News he is just an “innocent and idealistic kid.”
Noyes was convicted Tuesday and will be sentenced June 23.
