A 25-year-old Georgia man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of producing and distributing child pornography.
Benjamin Jenkins was convicted in January for contacting underage girls as young as 13 by pretending to be someone else. He would coax the girls into providing him sexually suggestive photos of themselves. Once she sent a photo, Jenkins would then threaten to post the photos online or send them to her friends and family if she did not send him additional photos, the Justice Department said in a press release on Tuesday. Jenkins victimized as many as 150 girls in this way.
