Tallahassee Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Child Pornography

A Tallahassee man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison on charges of producing and distributing child pornography, announced by Jason R. Coody, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

Gregory Carroll Johnson, 40, of Tallahassee, Florida, was sentenced on charges of conspiracy to produce, distribute, possess, and receive child pornography. The sentence follows his guilty plea earlier this year.

Court documents reflect that in July 2019, local, state, and federal law enforcement executed a search warrant at Johnson’s residence in Tallahassee. The evidence showed that Johnson had been receiving child pornography from an individual in Atlanta, while conducting the search, authorities found messages on Johnson’s phone that demonstrated Johnson and co-defendant Madison King had also conspired to produce child pornography.

The recovered evidence included short video clips and pictures that King had taken and transmitted to Johnson depicting the sexual abuse of a toddler. Florida investigators quickly obtained emergency legal process to locate King and contacted their Georgia counterparts. That same day, agents with Homeland Security Investigations, in concert with the Berrien County (Georgia) Sheriff’s Office, executed a search of King’s Nashville, Georgia residence, whereupon the child was rescued.

“There is no greater charge than the protection of our children,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Coody. “This sentence is yet another example of the unwavering commitment to the protection of our most vulnerable and should serve as a significant deterrent to those who would attempt to harm them. Our law enforcement partners are to be commended for the swift, multi-state investigation, which resulted in the immediate rescue of this child, preventing further abuse.”

Johnson’s prison sentence will be followed by 10 years of supervised release. He will also be required to register as a sex offender and will be subject to all sex offender conditions. This conviction was the result of an investigation conducted by Homeland Security Investigations, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Assistant United States Attorneys Meredith L. Steer and Michelle Spaven prosecuted the case.

Tallahassee, Florida, was the scene of the crime, which took place in July 2019. Johnson, a 40-year-old resident of Tallahassee, was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. The charges include conspiracy to produce, distribute, possess, and receive child pornography.

This case is a stark reminder of the importance of protecting our children from those who would seek to harm them. The swift action taken by law enforcement and the resulting sentence should serve as a deterrent to those who would engage in such heinous crimes.
