A Kennesaw man has been sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.
Shawnston Beaudoin, 31, of Kennesaw, Georgia, was convicted on these charges on March 4, 2015, after he pleaded guilty.
According to Acting U.S. Attorney John Horn, the charges and other information presented in court: In February 2014, the FBI received information that Shawnston Beaudoin was collecting and distributing child pornography.
On March 5, 2014, FBI agents executed federal search warrants at Beaudoin’s apartment and at a business that he managed in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Beaudoin initially admitted to having child pornography but denied having any inappropriate contact with a child.
He agreed to take a polygraph test to support his claim. During the polygraph test, his answers to key questions indicated that he was being deceptive.
At that time, he admitted to FBI agents that they would find homemade pornographic images of young girls on his computers.
The forensics analysis of his computers revealed that he had personally produced pornographic images of three different children between 2005 and 2013.
Beaudoin, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison to be followed by lifetime supervised release, preyed on the vulnerable and innocent of our society for his own personal pleasure.
This office’s Project Safe Childhood program is dedicated to searching out and prosecuting anyone who victimizes children to contribute to the child pornography market.
