A Geauga County man pleaded guilty to possessing videos of children being raped and sexually assaulted, according to the Department of Justice.

John Mobasseri, 39, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and one count of possession of child pornography. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 19.

Earlier this year, officials found two USB storage devices, 14 computer disks and a computer with images of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct in Mobasseri's possession.

Court documents show he received and distributed images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct between 2009 and 2017.

The files explicitly state the nature of the content and the age of the subjects, with titles such as "10Yo Preteen Raped (Incest).mpeg." There were also images of children being blindfolded and sexually assaulted, as well as children being bound and masked while being sexually assaulted, according to court documents.
