ALABAMA
A federal judge on Monday sentenced an Alabama man to 10 years in prison for making child pornography between 1997 and 1998, according to officials.
Former Kindergarten teacher Charles Mark McCormack, 54, of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, plead guilty on Nov. 27, 2017, to one count of production of child pornography.
According to admissions made in connection with his guilty plea, between Aug. 1, 1997, and Oct. 15, 1998, McCormack used an approximately six-year-old girl to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of the conduct, by videotaping the girl urinating in a bathroom in his Colbert County, Alabama residence.
During a May 2016 search of McCormack’s residence, law enforcement discovered images of nude and topless females believed to constitute child pornography and a suitcase containing young girls’ panties. McCormack was employed as a kindergarten teacher at the time of the search.
