Kentucky Man Sentenced to 40 Years for Child Pornography Production
PIKEVILLE, Ky. – A Hagerhill, Ky., man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for producing and possessing child pornography.
Jason Ryan Campbell, 46, was sentenced on Thursday by U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves. Under federal law, Campbell must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence.
The charges against Campbell stem from an investigation by the FBI and Kentucky State Police. On August 27, 2022, law enforcement located two videos taken of Campbell and a minor victim engaging in sexual conduct on his phone. They also found additional videos and photos of child pornography on the device.
Campbell’s plea agreement stated that he produced child pornography on the day he was caught. The investigation was conducted by the FBI and Kentucky State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Blankenship is prosecuting the case.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet and to identify and rescue victims.
Upon his release from prison, Campbell will be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for life. The sentence was jointly announced by Paul McCaffrey, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Olivia Olson, Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Louisville Field Office; and Phillip J. Burnett, Jr., Commissioner of the Kentucky State Police.
