Fort Worth man gets 50 years in federal prison on child pornography charges
A Fort Worth man has been sentenced to 50 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in North Texas.
Jamie Hackney, 36, pleaded guilty in February to two counts of production and transportation of child pornography, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release this week.
Hackney was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth.
The Fort Worth Police Department received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about images depicting child sexual abuse that were uploaded to Hackney’s Google account, according to the release.
Fort Worth police uncovered forensic evidence of Hackney using a minor to create and transport the images, authorities said. The FBI assisted with the investigation.
