VA Woman Pleads Guilty to Making Child Porn

Posted:

CASPER, Wyo. - A Virginia woman accused of sending a Wyoming man images of herself molesting an infant has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.

Jessica Shockley faces between 15 and 30 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday in federal court in Wyoming. She is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 4 in Cheyenne.

Investigators arrested Shockley in January after finding the images in question on a cellphone of James Hawkins of Rock Springs, Wyo. Hawkins told investigators he had met Shockley through a cellphone chat site.

Authorities traced the images to Shockley.

Hawkins pleaded guilty earlier to receiving child pornography. He was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison.
