INDIANA
A judge sentenced an Indiana man to 35 years in prison for producing child pornography, officials announced today.
Todd Chambers, 28, of Batesville, Indiana, plead guilty to nine counts of production of child pornography.
In his guilty plea, Chambers admitted that he produced and distributed via the Internet a series of images of child exploitation.
The evidence indicated that Chambers produced them over the course of three months. In addition to these images, Chambers possessed thousands of other images of child exploitation on his digital camera, laptop computer, cell phone and other electronic devices.
The FBI and the Indiana State Police investigated the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice, officials said.
