George Slavescu, 49, and Ioana Pricope-Slavescu, 35, were booked on multiple counts of promoting and possessing a sexual performance by a child. They face between four and seven years behind bars if convicted. Through an investigation that the NYPD Vice Major Case Team conducted, police linked an IP (Internet protocol) address belonging to George Slavescu to a peer-topeer network in which images and videos of child pornography were known to be shared, according to authorities. Detectives determined that, on Aug. 8, Slavescu downloaded a video depicting a girl between 8 and 11 years of age performing an oral sexual act on a male. In monitoring the network the following day, prosecutors noted, they found a list of files that Slavescu shared and downloaded showing young girls, some believed to be less than 12 years old, involved in sexual acts with adults. Police downloaded from Slavescu’s online account two additional child porn videos between Aug. 7 and Aug. 20, one of which involved a boy between 3 and 4 years old. Police executed a court-authorized search of the Slavescus’ 67th Street home on Thursday and seized a computer tower found to contain hundreds of videos and photos of children involved in sexual acts. During questioning, according to the criminal complaint, George Slavescu allegedly admitted to downloading more than a thousand files of child pornography and admitted to pleasuring himself while viewing them. Ioana Pricope- Slavescu also allegedly told detectives that she joined her husband in watching child porn on their television, which was hooked up to the computer. 114th Precinct Astoria, Long Island City, Woodside and Jackson Heights Queens residents indicted in Brooklyn for heroin trafficking Four residents of Middle Village and Jamaica were among 25 individuals arrested last week for their alleged roles in a large-scale heroin sale and distribution ring based in Brooklyn, prosecutors announced.
