Kansas Man Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Charges

A 30-year-old Hugoton man has pleaded guilty to producing and distributing child pornography.

According to a news release from U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom, Andrew McDaniels pleaded guilty on Tuesday to one count of producing child pornography and one count of distributing child pornography.

Prosecutors say McDaniels solicited a 15-year-old from South Carolina online to send him pornographic photos. Prosecutors also say that McDaniels used a file-sharing network to possess and distribute a movie file of two minor females engaged in sexual activities.

A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for May 4.
