SOUTH BEND – Marvin L. Bishop II, age 42, of Seminole,
Oklahoma was sentenced before U.S. District Court Judge Jon E. DeGuilio, upon
his plea of guilty to production of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney
Kirsch.
Bishop was sentenced to 324 months in prison, 5 years of
supervised release, and ordered to pay $14,520 in restitution.
“Children are among the most vulnerable of victims and do
not have a voice in the hands of these predators,” said United States Attorney
Thomas L. Kirsch, II. “My Office will do
everything we can to prosecute and seek lengthy sentences, such as the one
today, for individuals who commit crimes against children.”
“Today’s sentence illustrates the commitment the FBI and our
law enforcement partners have to protect our children from individuals such as
Mr. Bishop who take advantage of their vulnerability,” said Special Agent in
Charge Grant Mendenhall, FBI Indianapolis. “We will continue to work to
identify and hold accountable those who would sexually exploit and perpetrate
this disturbing crime against children who can’t protect themselves.”
According to documents in this case, Mr. Bishop was a long
haul trucker. In March of 2019, Mr.
Bishop was chatting with an undercover officer about being sexually active with
minor females. He streamed a brief video
of a minor performing oral sex on him.
The undercover officer was able to determine his location, and the FBI
was able apprehend him and his victim in Rochester, Indiana within a few hours
after the chatting began.
The case was investigated by the FBI with the assistance of
the St. Joseph County Police Department and the Rochester, Indiana Police
Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney John M.
Maciejczyk.
