Child molester gets 30 years for atrocious seven-year sex attack spree
Child molester gets 30 years for atrocious seven-year sex attack spree - A BABY-FACED pedophile was slammed with 30 years behind bars for molesting at least eight children in Queens — including members of his own family.
Four of the young victims depicted in pornographic photos — some depicting bondage — remain unidentified.
“This (defendant’s) crimes are far worse than some who commit homicides,” Assistant Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Michael Canty said.
“And I keep thinking of of the victims we don’t even know. They’re out there,” Canty added.
But the most powerful argument to throw the book at Cartagena came from his sister, whose 7-year son was among those who were violated.
The prosecutor read aloud her letter to Judge Carol Amon.
She recounted FBI agents sitting in her kitchen with photos of children found on her brother’s computer.
“I clearly remember the agent sliding a photo of the child across the table and it was at that moment I died,” she wrote.
“It was my son. What scared the hell out of me was my own family member did this to my son.
“Felix, I always had your back until I learned you betrayed me in the worst possible way. When I look at you, I see no remorse.”
The feds found Cartagena in a kiddie porn sewer on the Internet and he readily admitted taking pictures of children he had molested, according to court papers.
The victims range in age from two to 12 and the attacks occurred over a seven-year period. All the molestation victims are male.
