Ozone Park man held for ‘how-to’ kiddie porn

A 29-year-old Ozone Park man known as a “Wedding DJ” has been arrested and charged with possessing and promoting kiddie pornography, for posting a “how-to” video for child molesters on the Internet.
Dominick Guerra is being held in lieu of $100,000 cash bond on multiple felony counts of promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child. If convicted, he faces seven years in prison.
The charges “are very disturbing,” said Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown, who observed, “There is a national connection to this case which frighteningly shows the far reach of the Internet in dispensing child pornography.”
Guerra’s date with the judge came as the result of an undercover operation which began in early February, by detectives with the Wheaton Illinois Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Task Force.
While searching the file-sharing website “limewire.com,” Andrew Uhlir, a Wheaton detective, found what Brown described as, “an instructional video describing and showing how to sexually molest a child.” According to Brown the video also contained images of children, including babies, in scenes of sexual abuse.
Further investigation of the “host computer” allegedly revealed more child pornography, including a video described by the DA as showing “a minor female approximately four-years-old performing [a sex act] on an adult male.”
Uhlir contacted the Queens DA’s office and the Special Investigations Unit of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) took over the investigation.
They traced the alleged source of the pornographic videos to an Internet account held by Loretta Guerra, 53, the defendant’s mother.
NYPD detectives and cops executed a search warrant at 104-16 106th Street in Ozone Park, just after 6 a.m. on April 16, where they seized a desktop computer from Guerra’s bedroom, two laptop computers which he reportedly shared with his mother and sister and “external storage media,” according to Brown.
According to cops, Guerra admitted, “that he downloaded and viewed numerous videos of child pornography from lime wire.”
He allegedly also “indicated that he recognized the image of the 4-year-old girl depicted in the video” that Uhlir downloaded through his mother’s Internet address.
While noting that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, Brown declared, “It is imperative that we vigorously prosecute this case so that our children remain safe from predators who share information to carry out their depraved acts.”
Guerra has another date in court on May 1. Even if he does manage to make bail, Judge William Harrington ordered that he surrender his passport, stay off the Internet and remain within Queens County.
