Dutchess County resident Mark Joppa, who was found in possession of more than 700,000 illicit images and videos of underaged children being sexually abused, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, according to Dutchess County Assistant District Attorney Lindsey Richards.
The images were reportedly discovered by the New York State Police’s computer forensic lab.
Joppa, of Beekman, pleaded guilty in December last year to three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child, felonies. He was initially arrested on Dec. 6, 2018.
In addition to his sentence, Joppa will also serve 10 years of post-release supervision and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
