A Fort Worth man was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison Thursday after pleading guilty in December to producing sexually explicit videos of two children, U.S. attorneys said.<\/p>\n

Keith Plaskonos, 68, pleaded guilty to two charges of using a child for the purpose of creating sexually explicit images, according to a statement from U.S. attorney Ryan Raybould\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Plaskonos was arrested by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in November 2023 after someone reported him looking at animated child sexual abuse material on his phone.<\/p>\n

After agents seized Plaskonos\u2019 phone and extracted its contents, they found that Plaskonos had used cellphones to create explicit videos of two victims in 2021 and 2022, officials said.<\/p>\n

Both victims were under age 5 at the time of the crime, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
