What Else Is Included In Kevin Pridemore's Sentencing?

The 41-year-old Waco man, Kevin Duane Pridemore, will serve a 960-month sentence for three charges, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, Jaime Esparza. U.S. District Judge Alan D. Albright ordered the sentence to run consecutively, and Pridemore will also be required to pay over $200,000 in restitution.

What Did Judge Albright Have To Say About The Crime?

Judge Albright stated that while nothing can erase the harm done to these innocent children, the 80-year sentence serves as a strong warning.

Reports indicate that Pridemore’s activity on a child exploitation website is what led law enforcement to obtain a search warrant for his home in March of last year. During the investigation, authorities recovered evidence showing that he not only possessed child sexual abuse material but had also produced it, involving young children.

Here Is What The FBI Had To Say About Crimes Including Children

These cases do not go unnoticed. The FBI has emphasized that there is zero tolerance for individuals who commit crimes against children, and I agree. Children are innocent and do not deserve to be harmed in such ways—justice must be served.
