A Springfield man will spend three decades in federal prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges.
Anthony Thompson, 40, pleaded guilty in October 2020 to one count of the sexual exploitation of a minor. Thompson admitted using a minor to produce child pornography on July 1, 2018.
U.S District Judge Roseann Ketchmark sentenced Thompson Thursday to 30 years in federal prison without parole, followed by ten years of supervised release.
