Jackson, Miss. – Kevin Douglas Jenkins, 35, of Pelahatchie,
pled guilty on Friday, before Chief United States District Judge Daniel P.
Jordan III, to the production of child pornography and the production of child
pornography by a person who has custody of a minor, announced United States
Attorney Mike Hurst, FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Freeze, and
Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood.
Jenkins was charged after the minor child came forward to
disclose Jenkins’ actions. A forensic examination revealed videos of Jenkins
engaged in sexually explicit conduct with the minor child. Jenkins was indicted
by a federal grand jury in November.
Jenkins will be sentenced by Judge Jordan on April 26, 2019,
at 9:00 a.m. The maximum penalties for the crimes charged are 30 years in
prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.
The case was investigated by the FBI Jackson Division's
Child Exploitation Task Force, which is made up of agents from the FBI and the
Mississippi Attorney General's Office, and officers from the Prentiss County
Sheriff's Office. The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office also assisted with the
investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly
Purdie.
