Kettering Attorney Indicted on 12 Charges of Obscenity

  • Southern District of Ohio (937) 225-2910

DAYTON, OH—A federal grand jury here has indicted Marc Norman Greenberg, 32, Centerville, alleging that he transmitted obscene images in interstate commerce between February and April 2009.

Gregory G. Lockhart, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio; Keith L. Bennett, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau ofInvestigation (FBI), announced the indictment returned yesterday.

The indictment alleges that Greenberg used computers at his home and office to engage in graphic sexual conversations and to transmit obscene images. Greenberg sent these images to individuals whom Greenberg believed were underage females, but were actually law enforcement officers conducting undercover investigations.

The indictment also seeks forfeiture of all computer and related storage and transmission equipment used to commit the crimes.

Conviction on each count carries a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment and the possibility of a lifetime of supervised release. Conviction would also mean Greenberg, who is an attorney in Kettering, would have to register as a sexual offender.

Judge Thomas M. Rose will preside over the case. Judge Rose will set a date for arraignment. Greenberg is currently on bond.

Lockhart commended the FBI agents who conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Guerrier, who is prosecuting the case. Lockhart alsoacknowledged the cooperation of the Dayton Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and the Kettering Police Departmentfor their assistance in the investigation, and the assistance of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the New York State Police, and the FBI Detroit Division.

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant should be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
