Kevin D. Todd, Producing Child Pornography, Ohio 2022
Accused Child Molester to Spend Up to 25 Years in Prison
DAYTON, Ohio - In a shocking turn of events, Kevin D. Todd, a 41-year-old man from Ludlow Falls, Ohio, has pleaded guilty to producing sexually explicit videos of pre-pubescent children he babysat and offering online to trade the videos.
U.S. Attorney Carter M. Stewart commended the cooperative investigation by the agencies involved, as well as Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheila Lafferty, who is representing the United States in this case.
The case, which was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse, has left many in the community shaken.
According to court documents, an undercover investigator with the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) responded to an ad Todd posted on the internet in November 2012 seeking people looking for "taboo." Through a series of emails, Todd asked the undercover investigator to meet and trade videos and pictures of child pornography.
They arranged a meeting, and officers arrested Todd on November 24, 2012, when he showed up for the meeting. Investigators found DVDs and other storage media containing pornographic videos and photos in Todd's car.
Forensic examination found that Todd had produced the videos of the minor females between August 2010 and November 2012 in the bathroom of his residence.
Todd has been held without bond since his arrest.
Terms of the plea agreement call for Todd to spend at least 20 years and up to 25 years in prison. Judge Timothy S. Black will review the plea agreement and has scheduled sentencing for Todd for July 11.
