ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis County man appeared in federal court Tuesday to be sentenced for possession of tens of thousands of videos and images containing child pornography. Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Missouri said Christopher Cotton, 32, pleaded guilty in April to one count of receiving child pornography. But before sentencing, Cotton heard letters from victims describing their ongoing pain and grief, and fear they'll be recognized by people who've seen the pictures.“My sexual abuse occurred from the ages of 6-12. During this time my victimization was documented and shared across the country, and is continuously being shared,” wrote one victim under the pseudonym "Andy." “I feel that every single criminal that is found with mine or another child’s images should be held accountable for the highest amount possible to help us victims repair our lives."
