A Williamsburg man has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for producing child pornography, according to a federal court document.
Amos Sparkman, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Claria Horn Boom to 27 years in federal prison.
The production of child pornography is a federal crime. According to his plea agreement, in October 2020, Sparkman started an online relationship with a minor female using the social media platform Snapchat.
Sparkman confessed to a sexual relationship with the minor and possessed a video of the minor performing sexual acts on Sparkman.
Sparkman admitted that he used the minor victim to produce visual depictions of the minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and that the depictions were then transported using Snapchat.
Under federal law, Sparkman must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence, and upon his release from prison will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for 10 years.
