A Florida man who peddled mislabeled erectile dysfunction pills won’t do hard time.
On Monday, Jan. 31, US Magistrate Judge Patricia D. Barksdale sentenced US Army veteran Timothy Terrance DeJoris, 42, of Ponte Vedra, to six months of probation and a $2,500 fine for distributing the misbranded boner boosters in the Jacksonville area.
He had faced up to a year behind bars and a $100,000 fine for importing and vending “Dr. Seltzer’s Hard-On Helper,” a Chinese sildenafil citrate-fueled knockoff of Viagra. The US Food and Drug Administration prohibits importing prescription drugs into the US without proper documentation and labeling.
DeJoris had already surrendered $50,000 in proceeds to the federal government and cooperated fully with the probe.
