(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)

A Springfield man was sentenced in federal court today for the sexual exploitation of a child.

Kelly Martin Roods, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 15 in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Roods to 15 years of supervised release following incarceration.



On April 19, 2018, Roods pleaded guilty to the sexual exploitation of a child. Roods admitted that he used his cellphone to record a video of himself and a 17-year-old minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ami Harshad Miller. It was investigated by the Greene County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department and the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force.
