Former American Idol finalist bags 70 years in jail for possession of child porn

26yr old Brandon Cox had the world at his feet when he made it to the final of American Idols in 2012. Fast forward 5 years later and he's thrown it all away.

In January, a jury found him guilty on seven counts of possession of child pornography and he was slapped with the maximum penalty of 70 years in jail.

275 indecent images of children were discovered on his computer but Cox who has a four year old son protested his innocence throughout the trial and at the sentencing.

District Attorney Randall Houston said:
 'It’s very rare for us to deal with child porn cases where the images depict such young victims. Usually it may be young girls, 14 to 15, which is bad, don’t get me wrong. But he had photos and videos of toddlers, 4- or 5-year-olds. 'There were even photos of an infant engaged in sexual acts.'
He went on to describe Cox as 'sick.'

Cox was already under investigation when he entered and earned a spot on the final round of 'Idol,' with his files drawing he attention of investigators in 2011. It is unclear if producers of the show were aware of this at that time. 

Assistant District Attorney Kristy Peoples said:
 'We are talking about toddlers, sexual penetration, oral sex, and the horrific nature of these photos and the quantity of the photos.' Cox plans to appeal his conviction.

    6. I never say this. But you are deranged. Did you not read that 276 indecent images of small children including babies performing sexual acts were found with him?

      You must be a pedophile, hence the sympathy.

  8. 70 yrs in prison say who die😲😲😲.. this is preposterous. So the shameless man that raped his step daughter to death in Nigeria should be killed by hanging and his corpse should be killed over and over again..

  10. Can't you guys read or comprehend ?

    He didn't rape a child, they found child porn on his computer.

    that doesn't make him a child rapist. Just like having murder videos on my laptop doesn't make me a murderer.

    it means I have a twisted fucked up mind, but it doesn't make me a murderer.
