A 28-year-old Parkville man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison Monday for producing child pornography, the Maryland U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
In July 2006, Jeremy Guzewicz introduced himself online to a 12-year-old Massachusetts girl, and eventually exchanged sexually explicit photos with her, according to prosecutors. Guzewicz pleaded guilty in November to sexually exploiting a child to produce child pornography.
"Parents must be ever vigilant in being aware of their children's internet activity and remember that predators are increasingly utilizing social networking sites to prey on children," William Winter, special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations by U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement in Baltimore, said in a statement.
