KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An Independence, Missouri, man was
sentenced in federal court today for producing child pornography.
Travis Howard White, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District
Judge Greg Kays to 16 years and three months in federal prison without parole.
White, who pleaded guilty on July 12, 2018, admitted that he
used a 13-year-old victim to produce child pornography. White met the child
victim on Facebook and they engaged in sexually explicit online chats. During
one of those chats, White directed the child victim to produce a pornographic
image, which she sent to him.
According to court documents, this was part of an enticement
scheme, which soon culminated in the then-14-year-old child victim moving from
Kansas to live with White in September 2016.White had sexual contact with the
child victim on numerous instances between September 2016 and March 2017, when
the child victim was recovered.
According to court documents, the child victim was one of
many victims preyed upon by White. By his own admissions, White engaged in
“sexting” activity with between 50 to 100 females (including under-aged
females). At least a dozen were identified as reported victims.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick
D. Daly. It was investigated by the FBI.
