Getting his computer repaired landed a Queens pervert in a real fix.
Michael Murray, 63, faces up to three years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to keeping nearly 400 sexual images of underage girls on his hard drive, said Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown.
The Queens man used some of the disturbing photos as a screen-saver slideshow, as a Best Buy technician in Long Island City discovered when Murray dropped the computer off for repairs, Brown said.
The stunned technician alerted his boss on April 1, 2014, and cops soon descended on to Murray's East Elmhurst home. He eventually admitted to exchanging child pornography via the Internet for five years, according to Brown.
"They are youngsters who will forever be emotionally and physically scarred by what happened to them," Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown said of the underage girls in the photos as he announced Murray's plea deal.
Some of the photos showed the girls engaged in sex acts with adult men. Murray, in a plea deal, will receive one to three years in prison at his March 22 sentencing.
"The defendant has now admitted to having vile, disturbing images of children on his computer's hard drive," said Brown. "These photographs depict real children who have been sexually abused.
"They are youngsters who will forever be emotionally and physically scarred by what happened to them."
