Cameron Drake Newsome, 25, of Williamson, pleaded guilty Friday to the production of child pornography.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on or about November 1, 2019, Newsome used a cell phone to take two photographs of an approximately three-year-old child in Williamson while the child was naked from the waist down and with the child’s genitals as the focal point of the images.
Newsome admitted to taking the photographs and storing them on an online file storage account. By storing those images in the online file storage account, Newsome transported the images in and affecting interstate commerce via the internet.
