Movie Producer Donald Luciano Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Charges

Prominent movie and television producer Donald Luciano, 41, pleaded guilty to possession of images of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct charges.

According to the documents filed after the hearing in the United States District Court Southern District of Florida, “the defendant understands and acknowledges that the Court may impose a statutory maximum term of imprisonment of up to ten (10) years; a minimum term of five (5) years supervised release up to life; a fine of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) and an order of restitution.”

Luciano was arrested back in February for these charges and has been in jail since then thanks to an FBI investigation, and he is due to be sentenced on July 18th.

“Faced with the potential of a draconian sentence which our federal judges think is appropriate in every case involving ‘child pornography,’ Don made a decision to accept a plea agreement that will assure that he will return to his great work in media production and his involvement in charitable and civic causes sooner,” Luciano’s attorney, Alan Ross, said. “He has learned a valuable lesson and hopes that he will continue to have the support of so many friends and colleagues.”
