Jury convicts Edmond man in child porn case

EDMOND — An Edmond man convicted in a federal child pornography case awaits sentencing, a court official said.

Bob Troester, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Oklahoma, said Jory Michael Nance, 28, of Edmond, was convicted late last week on all but two counts of a 75-count superseding indictment. Troester said after the trial the defendant was remanded to the custody of the U.S. marshal.

A message seeking comment from Gary James, the defendant’s attorney, was not returned before the report was filed.

In counts 1-8, which involve the transportation of child pornography, the defendant faces a 5-20 year prison sentence, a $250,000 fine or both. The offenses occurred between January 2012 and May 2012, according to court records. They involved images depicting a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

In counts 9-59 (the defendant was not convicted on counts 41 and 42), which involve the receipt of child pornography, the defendant faces a 5-20 year prison sentence, a $250,000 fine or both.

In counts 60-75, which involve accessing of child pornography, the defendant faces up to a 10-year prison sentence, a $250,000 fine or both.

The defendant also faces five years up to life supervised release on multiple counts.

A sentencing date has not been set pending completion of a pre-sentencing report by the probation office, Troester said. It should be completed in about 90 days, Troester said.
