Lucicosky gets 8 years for large cache of child porn

A North Lima man is sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to 15 counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor and one count of attempted pandering obscenity involving a minor.

Mark Lucicosky, 43, of Woodworth Road, was sentenced Thursday by Judge Maureen A. Sweeney of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Lucicosky initially had been indicted by a county grand jury May 14, 2015, on 17 counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor, with the alleged offenses having occurred in November 2014, and Jan. 15, 2015.

In the plea agreement, the prosecution dropped one count and reduced another to the attempted offense.

On Jan. 15, 2015, agents from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, together with Beaver Township police and county sheriff’s office deputies, executed a search warrant at Lucicosky’s residence.

Agents found 696 video images of child pornography and an additional 20,420 graphic images of child porn, she said.
