In San Antonio this morning, 33-year-old Kevin Clay Montgomery was sentenced to the statutory maximum of 30 years in federal prison followed by ten years of supervised release for production of child pornography announced United States Attorney Richard Durbin, Jr. and FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio.
On Oct. 15, 2016, Montgomery pleaded guilty to the charge. By pleading guilty, Montgomery admitted that in September 2014, he used his cell phone to produce child pornography that depicted the abuse and exploitation of an approximate 2-year-old female toddler. After receiving information concerning the transmission and storage of potential child pornography, agents from the FBI’s San Antonio Division obtained a search warrant for the defendant’s residence. On Jan. 27, 2015, agents executed the warrant and seized two cellular telephones belonging to the defendant. A subsequent forensics evaluation of the seized phones revealed the presence of approximately 369 images of child pornography produced using those phones from October 2014 to December 2014.
Montgomery has remained in federal custody since his arrest on Jan. 27, 2015.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted this investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Tracy Thompson prosecuted this case on behalf of the Government.
