Fort Worth man sentenced
The backstory:
Jamie Hackney pleaded guilty to a two-count indictment charging him with the production and transportation of child pornography in February 2025.
He was sentenced on Friday to 600 months in federal prison by United States District Judge Reed O’Connor.
According to court documents, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children issued a Cybertip to the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) regarding images uploaded to Hackney’s Google account.
Through their investigation, FWPD uncovered forensic evidence of Hackney using a minor to create and then send out child pornography.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fort Worth Police Department conducted the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Allyson Monte.
