A 32-year-old man in the US, Matthew Tyler Miller, has been sentenced to 600 years for reportedly making two children to engage in sexual conduct for years so he could record them.
Local media reports in the US say quoted federal prosecutors as saying he was sentenced on Friday, October 2, 2020.
U.S. District Judge, Scott Coogler, is said to have sentenced Tyler of Cottondale to what amounted to a life term a year after he pleaded guilty to multiple charges of sexually exploiting young children.
“The crimes for which Miller has admitted guilt are not only disturbing, they are sickening, and his actions robbed these children of their childhood,” FBI Special Agent, Johnnie Sharp Jr., is quoted as saying in a statement.
Reports say Miller enticed children to have sexual contact between 2014 and February 2019.
According to reports, prosecutors said the two victims were as young as 4 when the incidents occurred.
An examination of electronic devices owned by Miller turned up 102 pornographic images that had been produced of the children, prosecutors are believed to have said.
Miller pleaded guilty in October 2019.
Miller still faces a state sodomy charge that accuses him of having sex with a child younger than 12 last year, records show, according to reports.
