A man who created and participated in child pornography was sentenced on Wednesday to life in federal prison without the possibility of parole for making sexually explicit materials involving at least 20 children.
Prosecutors said Arlan Wesley Harrell, of Hawthorne, Calif., joined an online bulletin board in 2016 where he advertised child sexual abuse materials involving children under the age of five.
Harrell, and his co-defendants, John Brinson, Jr. and Moises Martinez, accessed the online bulletin through Tor, a network designed to keep communication over the internet anonymous, prosecutors said.
Harrell, 27, created and engaged in the child pornography that exploited 20 children, some of whom were infants, investigators said.
