Raytown Man Faces Years in Prison for Producing Child Pornography
A Raytown, Mo., man has pleaded guilty to using a minor victim to produce child pornography, a crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison without parole.
Cecil L. Pulluaim, 54, pleaded guilty to two counts of producing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography in U.S. District Court. The charges stem from Pulluaim’s admission that he used a minor victim to produce videos of child pornography on two occasions in April 2023.
According to the investigation, Pulluaim used his cell phone to produce the child pornography. On June 16, 2023, Raytown police officers searched Pulluaim’s residence and seized his iPhone. A forensic analysis of the phone found five sexually explicit videos of the child victim, taken on two different days.
In addition to the five videos of child pornography that Pulluaim pleaded guilty to producing, investigators found a dozen additional videos and photos of child pornography that Pulluaim admitted he also produced of the child victim.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Luna, who noted that the charges carry a maximum statutory sentence of 70 years in federal prison without parole.
The sentencing of Pulluaim will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
