Cape Girardeau man sentenced to 30 years for producing child pornography
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., (KBSI) — A 33-year-old Cape Girardeau man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Tuesday for producing child pornography.
Steven Lee Brown pleaded guilty in December to one count of producing child pornography, admitting to recording his sexual activity with a 10-year-old child last May.
According to court documents, Brown admitted to engaging in various sexual acts with the child and using his cell phone to record some of the activity.
Officers seized Brown’s phone and discovered sexually explicit images of the minor child on the device.
After serving his 30-year sentence, Brown will be subject to lifetime supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Cape Girardeau County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jack Koester handling the prosecution.
