HTN: NT Sex Offender will Serve More Time

An admitted sex offender has now pleaded guilty to federal child porn charges. Prosecutors say 41-year-old Mitchell Brokob of North Tonawanda, admitted to receiving 45 images on his computer. He also faces 25 years to life on state charges that he abducted a 12-year-old girl, dragged her to a vacant home and sexually assaulted her for three hours back in March. Prosecutors say Brokob asked for the maximum 20 years on the federal child porn charges even though he only faced eight years, because he wants to spend a majority of his term in the federal system, where conditions are said to be better than the state system. He will spend the first 20 years in federal jail, then transfer to state prison to finish off his sentence on the sexual assault charges.
