PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WTKR) -- A previously convicted child sex offender was sentenced to 25 years in prison for producing images of child sexual abuse.
Portsmouth man Lavelle Mayfield, 55, was found to have made 137 "erotic" images and two videos, many with a 16-year-old runaway from Chesapeake, according to officials.
According to court documents, the victim met Mayfield at church and developed a sexual relationship with him, at one point running away to stay with him.
Record checks revealed that Mayfield was a registered sex offender and was still under parole until September 2021. The record also showed that Mayfield has several sexual conduct charges in Minnesota from 1994, 1995 and 1999.
