A Yuma man, Aaron Louis Turk, was sentenced to 300 months in prison after pleading guilty to producing child pornography involving two minors.
Turk, age 32, also admitted to distributing and possessing child pornography, according to the Department of Justice.
Judge Murray Snow also ordered Turk to pay restitution to all identified victims, and serve a lifetime term of supervised release after his release from prison.
Turk admitted in his plea agreement that he produced and possessed illegal child pornography images of two toddler-age girls, along with other child pornography. The toddlers were in Turk’s care when he produced the illegal images of them.
According to authorities, Turk was first detected on a file sharing network which led to a federal search warrant being executed at his residence in Yuma. Law enforcement seized a computer and a cell phone used by Turk, both of which contained child pornography images.
