Gonzales Woman Sentenced to 125 Months in Federal Prison for Receiving Child Pornography

A federal judge has sentenced Hannah Kinchen, a 41-year-old woman from Gonzales, Louisiana, to 125 months in federal prison for receiving child pornography.

According to court documents, Kinchen was convicted of receiving child sexual abuse material produced by a photographer she arranged to take the images.

U.S. District Judge Brian A. Jackson sentenced Kinchen to 125 months in federal prison following her conviction.

The court also sentenced Kinchen to serve five years of supervised release following her term of imprisonment and ordered her to complete sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender upon her release.

According to admissions made during her guilty plea, Kinchen communicated with a photographer who self-identified as a pedophile, using the Internet, about the minor victim’s modeling career, among other topics.

She coordinated and transported the minor victim to photoshoots with the photographer, in Louisiana and elsewhere. Kinchen was present during these photoshoots, permitted the photographer to photograph the minor victim in scanty attire, including thongs and G-string bikinis, and collaborated in posing the minor victim.

Some of the resulting photographs qualified as child pornography and some were later sold.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kristen Craig.

This matter was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
