LONDON, Ky. – A disturbing case of child pornography has come to a close with a severe sentence. David Jason Parkey, a 41-year-old man from McKee, Kentucky, has been sentenced to 270 months in prison for producing child pornography.
According to his plea agreement, on January 18, 2023, Parkey engaged in a Facebook messenger conversation with a minor victim, exchanging a series of sexually explicit messages and images. In these messages, Parkey directed the victim to take and send him sexually explicit photos via Facebook messenger.
Under federal law, Parkey 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 10 years.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and Kentucky State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Blankenship is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted this case as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
David Jason Parkey’s crime is a prime example of the devastating consequences of producing child pornography. His actions have had a lasting impact on the victim, and his sentence serves as a reminder of the severity of this crime.
