Interim Suspension For Felony Conviction

The Ohio Supreme Court has imposed an interim suspension of an attorney as a result of a felony conviction.

The offense was described in this ICE release

Jason C. Grossman, 31, of Westerville, Ohio, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to one count of receipt of child pornography, a crime punishable by at least five years and up to 20 years in prison.

According to the investigation, in December 2012, Grossman met a man online who claimed to be the father of prepubescent children. Grossman discussed the possibility of engaging in sexual activity with the man’s daughter. Grossman was actually communicating with an undercover task force officer patrolling the Internet.

Grossman scheduled an in-person meeting for the planned sexual activity. When Grossman arrived for the meeting Jan. 9, task force officers arrested him. Officers then executed a search warrant at Grossman’s home and seized computers and media storage devices. Forensic examinations revealed Grossman had downloaded approximately 49 images of child pornography from the Internet.

Grossman remains on house arrest until sentencing.
