Yuba City Man, Chad Jaycox Sentenced to 20 Years for Child Pornography Offense
Chad Carl Jaycox, 28, of Yuba City, was sentenced today to 20 years in prison to be followed by 25 years of supervised release for receiving images of child pornography, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, Jaycox received the images between April 2011 and September 2013. Jaycox was convicted in 2010 of unlawful sex with a minor, and he was on probation for that offense when federal agents executed a search warrant at his residence in September 2013. Upon the discovery of child pornography, Jaycox was arrested by state law enforcement agents for a violation of his probation.
