Man gets 2 years for child porn

Valencia resident already serving probation for similar conviction

A Valencia man was sentenced to two years in prison after being arrested for possessing child pornography two weeks after he was convicted of child porn possession and put on probation.

Shahram Hosseinian, 32, pleaded no contest to possession of child or youth pornography after a prior conviction, District Attorney’s spokesman Ricardo Santiago said Thursday. He entered the plea Wednesday at San Fernando Superior Court and was immediately sentenced.

Hosseinian had pleaded no contest Nov. 30 to possession of child or youth pornography.

He was convicted and ordered to register as a sex offender, placed on five years formal probation and told to perform 30 days of community service, Santiago said.

Two weeks later on Dec. 15, he was arrested again for possessing child pornography — this time as a registered sex offender with a prior conviction for a sex offense.

The prosecutor handling the most recent case against Hosseinian was Deputy District Attorney Rouman Ebrahim from the D.A.’s High Technology Crime Division.

Hosseinian was one of two men arrested in July on suspicion of sending/ bringing obscene matter

into state for sale and possession of child or youth pornography.

Co-accused in the case was Elias Rojas-Diaz, 45,

of Sylmar.

Rojas-Diaz pleaded not guilty in September to charges of “sending/ bringing obscene matter into state for sale/etc. and possession of matter depicting minors engaging in sexual conduct,”

Santiago said at the time.

Rojas-Diaz is scheduled to appear in court March 1 for a preliminary hearing.
