Jax man sentenced in child porn case

He used social media to solicit child porn from a 9-year-old girl.

A 31-year-old Jacksonville man was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison after he pled guilty back in July to soliciting images of child pornography from a minor.

Chad Lansford was also ordered to serve a 10 year term of supervised release and will have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

Prosecutors said the mother of the child found several sexually explicit images on her daughter’s Facebook in January 2015. The investigation revealed online conversations through Facebook between the girl and Lansford, including images of his private parts.

Detectives said the child told Lansford she was 9-years-old but he still repeatedly requested that she send him pornographic photos of herself, which she eventually did.

This case was investigated by the FBI and JSO.
