An Opelika man has been sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for making child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Kevin Darcy Golden, 45, of Auburn, Alabama, was sentenced yesterday to 35 years in federal prison for making child pornography. If Golden is released from prison, he will be on supervised release for the remainder of his life.
The crime took place between at least April and December of 2011, during which Golden produced numerous videos of female children engaging in sexually explicit conduct. On some occasions, Golden secretly filmed the children removing their clothing while at his residence, and on other occasions, Golden filmed himself engaging in sexually explicit conduct with the children while they were unconscious.
“Performing sexual acts on children is one of the most despicable things a person can do,” stated U.S. Attorney George L. Beck, Jr. “We will not tolerate it and will work feverishly to stop this horrific conduct.”
“Cases related to the exploitation of children are of the most important investigations we shoulder in the FBI,” stated Steve Richardson, FBI Special Agent in Charge, Mobile Field Division. “Our ability to investigate and prosecute these activities is enhanced when we work with our local and federal partners.”
This case is being investigated by the Opelika field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Auburn (Alabama) Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jared H. Morris and Nathan D. Stump.
This case is being brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
