COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Appellee v. JOHN DENNIS LUCHI, Appellant
NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence September 11, 2015 in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County
Criminal Division at No.: CP-40-CR-0003848-2013 BEFORE: BENDER, P.J.E., PANELLA, J., and PLATT, J. MEMORANDUM BY PLATT, J.:
Retired Senior Judge assigned to the Superior Court.
Appellant, John Dennis Luchi, appeals from the judgment of sentence imposed pursuant to his jury conviction of six counts each of dissemination of child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility, and ten counts of possession of child pornography. Specifically, he challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions. We affirm on the basis of the trial court's opinion.
18 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 6312(c), 7512(a), and 6312(d), respectively. --------
In its opinion, the trial court fully and correctly sets forth the relevant factual and procedural history of this case. ( See Trial Court Opinion, 6/24/16, at 1-6). Therefore, we have no reason to restate them here.
After a thorough review of the record, the briefs of the parties, the applicable law, and the well-reasoned opinion of the trial court, we conclude that there is no merit to the issues Appellant has raised on appeal. The trial court opinion properly disposes of the questions presented. ( See Trial Ct. Op., at 7-9) (finding that Commonwealth presented sufficient evidence to prove that Appellant: (1) knowingly disseminated child pornography pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6312(c); (2) intentionally viewed or possessed videos depicting children engaging in prohibited sexual acts or simulation of such act, in violation of 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6312(d); and (3) used a communication facility to commit, cause, or facilitate commission of these crimes, in violation of 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 7512(a)). Accordingly, we affirm on the basis of the trial court's opinion.
Judgment of sentence affirmed. Judgment Entered. /s/_________
