A Lampe, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court Wednesday for producing child pornography and for receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet.
Jeffrey D. Manley, 38, of Lampe, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Brian C. Wimes to 20 years in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Manley to a lifetime of supervised release following incarceration.
On Sept. 10, 2014, Manley pleaded guilty to using a minor to produce child pornography and to receiving and distributing child pornography from Nov. 1, 2012, to Feb. 26, 2013.
In January 2013, law enforcement authorities identified Manley’s computer as using peer-to-peer file-sharing software to download child pornography over the Internet and to make child pornography available to other users. Officers executed a search warrant at Manley’s residence and seized computers, cell phones and other items. Investigators found child pornography on Manley’s laptop computer. Investigators also discovered a video of child pornography on Manley’s cell phone that he had taken while engaged in sexual acts with a minor victim.
