MOUNTAIN VILLAGE – 46-year old Jason Van Hoesen is spending the next seven and a half years in prison, followed by 10-years of supervised release after he was found guilty on child pornography charges. In addition to the prison time, he has to pay 60-thousand dollars in restitution.

During the course of an investigation that started back in 2018, agents and officers outside of Telluride recovered 10,500 child pornography files. Many of those files contained graphic photos of young children, ranging from infants and toddlers to older kids.
