Grimy Times Exclusive: Ronnie Lee McCall, Convicted of Child Pornography
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – A jury has convicted Ronnie Lee McCall, 60, of Limestone and Johnson City, Tenn., of four counts related to the sexual exploitation of three minor girls.
The convictions include: permitting a child in his custody and control to travel in interstate commerce to produce child pornography; production of child pornography; production of child pornography by a parent; and using a means of interstate commerce to induce a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity (child rape under Tennessee law).
McCall faces a mandatory minimum term of 30 years in prison. His wife, Connie Stout McCall, 40, who was charged with the same offenses, pleaded guilty in February 2014 to production of child pornography by a parent.
Sentencing has been set for June 6, 2016, before the Honorable J. Ronnie Greer, U.S District Court Judge. McCall has been in federal custody since October 2013.
Nancy Stallard Harr, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, noted, ‘This prosecution underscores the importance of our partnership with local and state authorities, social service agencies, and others in protecting children, who are some of the most vulnerable members of our community.’
The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Tennessee Department of Child Services, Child Protective Services, Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Johnson City Police Department, Washington County Child Advocacy Center, Youth Villages, a bail bondsman and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Helen Smith and Corey Shipley represented the United States.
