Former owner of University Liquor, Kayvan Karya Rasolkhani, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
Rasolkhani, 46, pleaded Thursday that he knowingly possessed images containing child pornography, according to a Thursday press release.
Rasolkhani faces 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The release confirms Rasolkhani contacted an undercover FBI agent online, expressing interest in the agent’s fictional underage daughters.
On Oct. 15, the FBI executed a search of Rasolkhani’s person, vehicle, residence and workplace, University Liquor, which was permanently closed following the raid. Explicit images of minors were found on Rasolkhani’s personal phone.
Rasolkhani was charged with possession of child pornography Jan. 22.
