Chief U.S. District Judge Mary M. Lisi sentenced a California man, Jeffrey Rock, to 15 months of community and home confinement near his home in Camarillo, Calif, after finding him guilty of being involved in Human Growth Hormone network. He will spend nine months there and then serve the remaining six months of his sentence at home with an electronic monitoring device attached to his ankle. Lisi also ordered him to serve five years of probation and complete 200 hours of community service each year, or a total of 1,000 hours over the length of his sentence.
Lisi was particularly disturbed about the fact that Jeffrey had peddled human growth hormone to anyone who was willing to pay for it. She said it could be a 15-year-old boy who had dreams of being Barry Bonds, the all-time leader in major league home runs, or the “muscle head” at the local gym.
“You were engaged in a very nasty and dangerous business,” she said. “You didn’t know who you were selling it to, and frankly, you didn’t care. The money was too good.”
It all started last September, when the authorities announced the 16-count indictment against Lei Jin, founder and chief executive officer of Genescience, along with Rock and two other men on federal charges of international smuggling of human growth hormone, or HGH. Jin has yet to be captured. In May, Rock admitted that he used Web sites and e-mail to distribute HGH that Genescience manufactured in China.
Rock’s lawyer, Leonard O’Brien, of Providence, pleaded concession in punishment on the grounds that Rock had accepted his crime and was willing to accept punishment for his actions. “This man has shown an extraordinary sense of responsibility,” he said.
