COLUMBUS, Ohio – In a shocking case of exploitation, 56-year-old Mark A. Green of Senecaville, Ohio, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for recording minors using hidden cameras and possessing child pornography.
Green was found guilty of two counts of exploiting a minor and one count of possessing child pornography after a thorough investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
According to court documents, in 2022, Green used security cameras that connected to his cell phone to surreptitiously record minors. He placed the hidden cameras in residential bathrooms and bedrooms to capture nude videos of the minors. Green either watched the recordings live or played them back later through the Blink security app.
As part of this investigation, approximately 60 total devices were seized from Green’s home, vehicles and person. Green possessed more than 10,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse material. Within those images and videos recovered, law enforcement identified hundreds of additional hidden camera videos and images with timestamps dating back to 2012. The images and videos depicted minor females in bathrooms and bedrooms in a prior residence.
The investigation revealed Green created sexually explicit videos of at least nine minor females. Two victims indicated that Green had also previously sexually abused them in person.
Green was charged federally in May 2023. He pleaded guilty in January 2024 to the aforementioned charges. U.S. District Court Judge Sarah D. Morrison imposed the sentence of 30 years in prison.
The investigation was led by the U.S. Department of Justice, with assistance from the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Circleville Police Department, the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Office, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Emily Czerniejewski and Jennifer Rausch represented the United States in this case.
The sentence marks a significant victory in the fight against sex crimes and child exploitation. The U.S. Department of Justice will continue to work tirelessly to protect the most vulnerable members of our society.
