Shemar Cameron Green, Child Pornography, Texas 2023

A Texas man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for his role in a child pornography case, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Leigha Simonton.

Shemar Cameron Green, 20, was indicted in December 2022 and pleaded guilty in March 2023 to transportation of child pornography. He was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, who also ordered the defendant to register as a sex offender and to pay $17,500 in restitution to identifiable child pornography victims.

According to plea papers, Mr. Green admitted that he sent sexually explicit images of himself to multiple minors, received nude photographs from minors, and produced a video of himself molesting a 5-year-old. He further admitted that he regularly viewed pornographic images of children under age 10, and uploaded several sexually explicit images of prepubescent children from his computer to his social media accounts.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children relayed a cyber tip from a social media company that housed Mr. Green’s account to law enforcement, prompting the investigation.

The Snyder Police Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Dallas Field Office – Lubbock Resident Agency conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Callie Woolam prosecuted the case.

Mr. Green, a resident of Snyder, Texas, was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for his crime. He will also be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

The case is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of child pornography on victims. It is a crime that can have long-lasting effects on those who are exploited. We hope that this sentence will bring some measure of justice to the victims and their families.
