St. Louis, MO – Michael Bruce McDonald, 79, of Huntington
Beach, CA, was sentenced to 174 months in federal prison for engaging in
illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. McDonald appeared before United
States District Judge Henry E. Autrey.
According to court proceedings and documents, McDonald is a
former police officer from California. In 2001 he was found guilty of sexually
abusing a child. He moved to the Philippines in 2009, and a short time later
married. Three of his wife’s nieces moved in with them - all under ten years of
age.
McDonald started producing child pornography pictures of the
children and one of their friends. He sexually abused two of the children. He
posted some of the images in an online account and sent images by email.
McDonald sent child pornography images of the children to an undercover officer
in St. Louis. The officer was able to identify McDonald and locate him in the
Philippines. McDonald was indicted in the Eastern District of Missouri and was
sent back to the United States to be prosecuted.
St. Louis County Police Department and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Livergood is
handling the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
