Two Oro Valley men were sentenced recently to probation in connection with pirating movies.
Oscar Rojelio Torres, Jr., 26, and Oscar Rojelio Cota Torres, Sr., 53, were sentenced to probation and will have to pay restitution, according to a news release from the Oro Valley Police Department.
Oro Valley police found more than 700 illegally-downloaded movies in Torres, Jr.'s car after a traffic stop in February 2016. Police and Homeland Security Investigations agents served a search warrant on the home of Torres, Jr. and found ledgers of movies sold, laptops and computers with disc-burning devices, and more than 500 DVDs, police said. The investigation showed Torres, Sr. conspired with his son to make and sell the illegally-downloaded movies, according to the news release.
Police said the two men were indicted on felony charges of trafficking stolen property, conspiracy, illegally conducting an enterprise, unlawful copying or sale of sounds or images from recording devices, and counterfeit marks.
