A Kentucky man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for producing child pornography in Indiana. Jack A. Taylor, 68, a resident of Rolling Springs, was ordered to serve a lifetime of supervised release following completion of his prison term.
Taylor was also ordered to forfeit all items seized during the investigation that were used to commit his offense. He was also ordered to pay $4,000 in restitution to his victim.
According to court documents, Taylor traveled from Kentucky to Lebanon, Ind., where he took sexually explicit photos of a minor, Jane Doe, who was approximately four years old at the time. The statement of facts established that Taylor engaged in sexually abusive conduct with the four-year-old minor.
Further, the statement detailed how Taylor also transported images of child pornography on a computer CD from Kentucky to Indiana, and that he possessed thousands of images of child pornography on various computer media devices, both in Lebanon and at his home in Rolling Springs.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service, with the assistance of the Lebanon, Ind., Police Department, the Boone County, Ind., Prosecutor’s Office and the Russell County, Ky., Sheriff’s Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve DeBrota of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana and Trial Attorney Steve Grocki of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Criminal Division.
Taylor pleaded guilty to producing child pornography and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge David F. Hamilton in Indianapolis. At the plea hearing, Taylor admitted that the statement of facts presented by the government was accurate.
