Memphis Man Pleads to Child Porn Production, Facing Up to 170 Years
A disturbing case of child exploitation has come to light in Memphis, Tennessee. Terrence Milam, a 37-year-old man, has pleaded to charges of producing and possessing child pornography.
According to court documents, Milam created photographs and videos of himself engaging in sexually explicit conduct with two prepubescent female minors between October 2013 and late January 2015. He used a smartphone to record the videos and take the images.
The abuse of the two victims came to light when a Memphis Police officer on routine patrol discovered Milam and one of the children parked in a deserted school parking lot. When the officer approached the vehicle, he saw Milam struggling to put on his pants. Law enforcement obtained search warrants to review the contents of two cell phones found in the vehicle, leading to the discovery of sexually explicit images and the identification of a second victim.
Milam’s abuse of the two children began when one of the victims was approximately nine years old and the other was 11. This heinous crime has left the community in shock and outrage.
Milam entered an Alford plea before U.S. District Judge Samuel H. Mays on Tuesday, July 5, 2016, to five counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. He faces a minimum sentence of 15 years imprisonment and a maximum of 170 years.
This case is being investigated by the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force and the MPD. Assistant U.S. Attorney Deb Ireland is prosecuting this case on the government’s behalf. Milam also faces charges of child rape in state court. His sentencing is scheduled for October 6, 2016.
The Grimy Times urges all victims of child exploitation to come forward and seek help. If you or someone you know has been a victim of child abuse, please contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.
