Houston, TX – Two men have been ordered to federal prison for their involvement in child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson.

Noonan, a registered sex offender, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce and distribution of child pornography, as well as possession of child pornography. He was handed a 30-year federal sentence, with the sentences to be served concurrently. He will also be on supervised release for life following the completion of his prison term.
Barry was found guilty on two counts of conspiracy to produce and two counts of production of child pornography following a five-day bench trial. He will serve a total of 27 years for his convictions.
Both men have been in custody and will remain there pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sherri L. Zack and Bob Stabe.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
