A 54-year-old Muscle Shoals, Alabama resident was arrested
on September 27, on a federal criminal complaint charging him with producing
child pornography, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A.
Blanco of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Jay E.
Town of the Northern District of Alabama.
According to the complaint affidavit, between Aug. 1, 1997,
and Oct. 15, 1998, Charles Mark McCormack used a minor, born in or about 1992,
to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing child
pornography, by surreptitiously videotaping the minor urinating in a bathroom
in his residence.
The charges contained in the complaint are only
allegations. The defendant is presumed
innocent unless and until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a
court of law.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland
Security Investigations is investigating this case with the cooperation of the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Trial
Attorney William M. Grady of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and
Obscenity Section (CEOS) and Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel J. Fortune of the
Northern District of Alabama are prosecuting the case.
