A Reading woman has been sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for distributing child pornography to an undercover FBI agent, federal officials announced.
Jamie G. Spies, 24, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Court Judge Timothy J. Kelly in July to distributing videos of child sexual abuse material, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, chief federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia.
In addition to prison, Spies was sentenced Tuesday to serve 10 years of supervised release and to register as a sex offender.
According to the release and court documents:
An undercover officer working with the Metropolitan Police Department-FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force was monitoring an online group where people meet to discuss and trade original images and videos of underage children.
While in the group on April 24, an individual calling themselves “babygirl484” and later identified as Spies messaged the undercover officer that she was interested in images that portrayed the sexual abuse of young children.
Spies, who was the mother of a then-16-month-old son, sent the undercover agent five videos depicting the sexual abuse of children, including infants and toddlers.
On April 25, Spies sent the agent another child porn video.
After her arrest on May 2, investigators discovered 43 videos and 51 images of child sexual abuse materials on her phone.
