Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew today
sentenced Terrell Eady (33, Tampa) to 20 years in federal prison for producing
child pornography. Eady had pleaded guilty on December 21, 2018.
According to court documents, between February and March
2010, Eady persuaded two female minors, whom he had met online, to produce and
send him child pornography.
Eady met one of his victims on Facebook, where he had claimed
to be a 15-year-old boy. He told the victim that he had obtained a naked video
of her and threatened to send the video to her Facebook friends unless, she
took naked photographs of herself for him, or filmed herself on a webcam.
Unbeknownst to Eady, law enforcement took over the girl’s Facebook account and
Eady attempted to persuade an undercover agent, whom Eady believed was the
minor, to produce child pornography and send it to him.
The investigation revealed that Eady had previously
communicated with a 16- year-old girl online. Eady had pressured that minor to
produce and send him child pornography and threatened to send naked photographs
of the girl to her friends on the internet unless, she produced more naked
photographs for him. Pressured by Eady, the minor produced and sent him at
least three pornographic images of herself.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the New York
Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney
Jennifer L. Peresie.
