A 61-year-old Troy man has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography and attempting to produce child pornography.
Jack A. Manning, a resident of Troy, Ohio, entered the guilty plea in U.S. District Court to the charges brought against him.
Carter M. Stewart, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, and Angela L. Byers, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cincinnati Field Division, announced the plea entered into yesterday before U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black.
According to court documents, in February 2014, Manning knowingly coerced a child under the age of 10 to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of taking pictures of such conduct.
The defendant’s actions were allegedly taken to gratify his own sexual desires, and in the same month, he attempted to obtain a video of two minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Manning was arrested on October 3, 2014, and has been in custody since.
As part of the plea agreement, the parties involved have agreed to a 25-year binding prison sentence, pending U.S. District Judge approval.
Manning is scheduled for sentencing on September 14, 2015, before U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office commended the investigation of this case by the FBI and Troy Police Department, and Assistant United States Attorneys Kyle Healey and Vipal Patel, who are prosecuting the case.
