A Lebanon, Missouri, man was sentenced in federal court today for producing child pornography.
Michael Brannon, 32, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Brian C. Wimes to 15 years in federal prison without parole.
On Aug. 5, 2019, Brannon pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.
According to court documents, Facebook submitted a CyberTipline report to law enforcement in June 2018 regarding an online conversation between Brannon and the 16-year-old victim, identified in court documents as “Jane Doe #1.” During the course of the chat, which was sexual in nature, Jane Doe #1 transmitted pornographic images to Brannon at his request.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Lebanon, Mo., Police Department, and the Lake Area Cyber Crimes Task Force.
