A 23-year-old League City resident has been ordered to federal prison for production of child pornography. Amari Mychael Singh pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a child on May 25, 2019.
U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani stated, ‘This man’s actions led to death of an innocent girl. While he will have to serve 25 years in prison, he will someday still have freedom and a life. She will not. The damage he caused her, her family and the other victims is immeasurable and has absolutely no place in our community.’
Today, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown sentenced Singh to 300 months in federal prison. He must also serve 10 years of supervised release, during which time he will have to comply with numerous requirements designed to restrict his access to children and the internet.
At the hearing, the court heard from the victim’s mother. She explained that her daughter had committed suicide in 2020 while charges were pending against Singh. She also read from journal passages her daughter had written, highlighting the emotional toll of Singh’s actions. Judge Brown further found Singh was a proximate cause of the victim’s death.
The courtroom was filled with members of Mady’s Movement, a human trafficking awareness organization the deceased victim’s mother had founded.
Judge Brown also considered a victim impact statement from another woman Singh victimized when she was in high school. The statement explained how Singh had raped her while she was incapacitated on drugs he had provided.
Singh has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility in the near future. The investigation was conducted by the FBI-Texas City and the Texas Department of Public Safety with the assistance of the League City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zahra Fenelon and Stephanie Bauman are prosecuting the case.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Singh has been ordered to pay $11,454.10 in restitution to the mother of the deceased victim and will have to register as a sex offender.
