Georgia Couple Gets Maximum Sentences for Child Porn
On June 29th, Valdosta couple 36-year-old Jayson Wright and 33-year-old Kara Wright received the maximum prison sentences for their charges of child pornography production. KIRO 7 News reports that Jayson, who pled guilty last October to two counts of child porn, will serve 60 years; Kara, who pled guilty to one count, will serve 30 years. Both face “a lifetime of supervised release and $625,000 in restitution” for their victims to follow, and will need to register as sex offenders.
WRBL reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case, and Homeland Security Investigations’ Special Agent Katrina Berger emphasized the importance of lengthy sentencing in cases as harmful as the Wrights’. The Valdosta Daily Times adds that as both Wrights will be consigned to federal prison, they will not be eligible for parole.
