There is no dispute between the parties that the Defendant possessed at least one image of child pornography depicting the above-identified minors.
The parties further agree that the victims seeking restitution in this case, are victims as defined in Section 2259, that is, individuals "harmed as a result of a commission of a crime under this chapter [the Sexual Exploitation and Other Abuse of Children Chapter of Title 18]." See 18 U.S.C. § 2259(c).
IT IS THEREFORE AGREED by the parties that Defendant Ronald Scott Gibson is liable for a portion of the total harm/losses sought by the victims "Andy" and "Jessy." Accordingly, Defendant Ronald Scott Gibson agrees to pay $3,500.00 as restitution to each victim for the victims identified above. Restitution shall be paid to the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, and shall then be distributed to the victims through their counsel as follows: (1) for "Andy" — Marsh Law Firm PLLC Attn: Andy, 548 Market Street #65135, San Francisco, CA, 94104-5401; and (2) for "Jessy" — Deborah A.
