No Reference to When Child-Pornography Images Downloaded/Therefore Consecutive Sentences Could Not Be Imposed

The Third Department determined that consecutive sentences could not be imposed for the downloading of child pornography without specific reference to the date and time of each download:

Consecutive sentences are authorized when “‘the facts demonstrate that the defendant’s acts underlying the crimes are separate and distinct'” … .  The determination as to whether defendant committed separate and distinct acts of possession turns upon when the images came into his possession … .  While the accusatory instrument and defendant’s plea allocution each specified the date and time upon which the images were retrieved from defendant’s computer, there was no information regarding defendant’s act of downloading the images.  Accordingly, consecutive sentences were not authorized in the absence of such information… . People v Pardy, 105529, 3rd Dept 1-30-14
