Medford man pleads guilty to child porn charges; sentenced to prison
A Medford man is headed to prison after pleading guilty on Monday to charges for sharing child pornography online.
Detectives arrested 56-year-old James Scott Pyper, a registered sex offender, in April at a house in the 2300-block of Temple Drive in Medford.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office had received a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) on April 13, letting them know that someone living in Jackson County had uploaded “multiple pornographic images of children” in September of 2019.
Originally charged with 15 counts of Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, Pyper agreed to plea guilty on Monday to three counts. All other counts were dismissed.
Judge Lorenzo Mejia sentenced Piper to three years and four months in state prison.
