BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WHNT) -- A federal judge sentenced a Tuscaloosa man to 7,200 months in prison Friday morning for for sexually exploiting two young children.
Matthew Miller, 32, was charged with 20 counts of enticing two children under the age of 5 to engage in sexual explicit conduct in order to produce child porn, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama.
Miller pleaded guilty in October 2019, after prosecutors said a search of his electronic devices turned up 102 pornographic images of the children.
AL.com reports Miller was arrested in early 2019 when the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Until responded to a Cottondale home on Corley Drive on a report of sexual abuse against a child. Authorities at the time said they found evidence Miller had been abusing two young children under the age of 5.
Miller was arrested on state charges of sodomy and child pornography and later indicted federally on 20 counts of enticing two children.
