Wenatchee Man Gets Plea Deal to Receiving Child Porn

A Wenatchee Man will serve between 10 and 15 years in prison after pleading guilty in federal court to receiving child pornography.

The plea deal reached for 53-year-old Miguel Estrada Morales is a reduction of the original charges of producing child pornography.

Morales was arrested in September of 2020 after his wife reported he made nude videos of their daughter when she was 14-year-old.

He admitted to making the videos without the daughter's knowledge over four years.

Morales pleaded guilty to the lesser charge and is being held in the Spokane County Jail until he's sentenced on May 11.

The original charges against Morales carried a 15-to-30-year sentence.

Morales admitted to making to videos of his daughter in the bathroom using a camera placed inside a pen or with a camera that was made to look like a clock.

Under the lessor plea deal, Morales was charged with receiving child pornography over a five-and-a-half-year period between January 2015 and August 2020.
