Read the indictment HERE.
Devlin is being charged with four felony counts of production of child pornography and two felony counts of transportation of a minor for a criminal sex act, U.S. Attorney Catherine L. Hanaway of the Eastern District of Missouri announced.
“This is by far the worst thing we have seen,” Hanaway said. “This minor, over the course of five years, had child pornography produced with them as the victim, was taken across state lines so sex crimes could be committed against them.”
It had been reported early on in the investigation that child pornography was found on Devlin’s computer. However, not much had been said since.
Previous charges filed against Michel Devlin.
The indictment states the following:
The indictment alleges that between October 2002 and July 2003, Devlin photographed a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

In February 2004, Devlin allegedly took a minor to Illinois with the intent to engage in criminal sexual assault.
