NEW ORLEANS, LA – U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced today that JAYDEN D. D. HALL (“HALL”), age 23, of Harvey, Louisiana, was sentenced for federal crimes involving child sexual abuse.

HALL previously pled guilty to one count of Production of Materials Involving the Sexual Exploitation of Children, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2251(a) and (e); and three counts of Transportation of Materials Involving the Sexual Exploitation of Children, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2252(a)(1) and (b)(1).  According to court documents, HALL created child sexual abuse videos and used social media accounts to distribute those videos, and other child sexual abuse material, through the internet.

United States District Judge Jay C. Zainey sentenced HALL to twenty-five years in prison for the production count.  For each transportation count, HALL was sentenced to twenty years in prison, concurrent with the production count.  HALL was also sentenced to five years of supervised release after his release from prison, and payment of a $100 mandatory special assessment fee for each count.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.  Led by United States Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.  For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
