LUBBOCK, TEXAS, MAN SENTENCED TO MORE THAN 24 YEARS
IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR PRODUCING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

LUBBOCK, Texas. — Isaac Jones, Jr., 50, of Lubbock, was sentenced this morning in federal court in Lubbock by U.S. District Judge Sam R. Cummings to more than 24 years (293 months) in federal prison, to be followed by a lifetime of supervised release, announced U.S. Attorney Richard B. Roper of the Northern District of Texas. Jones will also be required to register as a sex offender. Jones pled guilty in August to one count of a two-count indictment charging production of child pornography.

Jones admitted that on March 15, 2008, he took “Jane Doe,” a female child that he knew was 14-years-old, for a ride in his automobile and drove to an isolated location in Lubbock County. Jones had a video camera with him and produced a video recording of him engaging in sexually explicit conduct with “Jane Doe” in his automobile.

Jones also admitted that again, on March 29, 2008, he caused “Jane Doe” to engage in sexually explicit conduct and produced a video recording of that conduct.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as identify and rescue victims.
