Christopher Wayne Livingood, Child Pornography Production, Kentucky 2022

Lexington, KY – A Fayette County man was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison for producing child pornography.

Christopher Wayne Livingood, 50, of Lexington, was sentenced on Friday to 360 months in federal prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves for production of child pornography.

According to Livingood’s plea agreement, he used the Kik social media application to communicate with another individual about sexual acts that he wanted to perform on a minor. Livingood also admitted to sending sexually explicit images of the minor to the same individual. In addition to the images he produced, he was also in possession of child sexual abuse material on various electronic devices.

Livingood pleaded guilty in May 2022.

Under federal law, Livingood must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence. Upon his release from prison, he will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for life.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Roth.

This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched by the federal government. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet as well as to identify and rescue victims.
