Snyder County Man Sentenced To 20 Years In Prison For Production Of Child Pornography And Enticement Of A Minor To Engage In Illegal Sexual Activity

WILLIAMSPORT - The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Jason Lee Wilson, age 24, of McClure, Pennsylvania, was sentenced yesterday to 20 years in prison to be followed by 10 years of supervised release by Chief United States District Judge Matthew W. Brann, relative to his plea of guilty to production of child pornography and coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity. 

According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, Wilson communicated online with minor victims who he enticed into creating images and videos of themselves engaged in sexually explicit activity and then directed them to send those images and videos to him over the internet. Likewise, he sent the minor victims videos and images of himself engaged in sexual activity. 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.  Assistant United States Attorney Luisa Honora Berti prosecuted the case.

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