A Reno man has been indicted for sexual exploitation of an infant and distribution of child pornography. Acting U.S. Attorney Steven W. Myhre for the District of Nevada says
35-year-old Derrick Rady is charged with one count each of exploitation and child pornography. In case he is convicted, the mandatory minimum sentence for sexual exploitation of a minor is 15 years and a maximum of 30 years, and the mandatory minimum sentence for distribution of child pornography is five years and a maximum of 20 years. The indictment says on or about January 27th Rady used a one-year-old infant to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing and distributing child pornography. Facebook and Google reported possible child pornography on their sites to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. During the execution of a search warrant at Rady’s residence, the Northern Nevada Child Exploitation Task Force seized multiple electronic devices containing child pornography and a mobile phone that was later identified as the device used to create the child pornography.
