PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA – 28-year-old Donyel James Fitts of Sneads, Florida,
was sentenced Wednesday, August 21st in federal court to serve forty-five
years in prison for producing child pornography.
Fitts was sentenced for conduct in June and October 2012. On June 21, 2012,
Fitts persuaded and coerced a 4-year-old child to engage in sexually
explicit conduct, so that he could photograph the minor. On two occasions in
October 2012, he videotaped the 4-year-old child engaged in sexually
explicit conduct.
Fitts faced a mandatory minimum sentence of fifteen years in prison on each
of three counts, and U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak ran the sentences
consecutively to one another for a total of forty-five years imprisonment,
and a life term of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Pamela Marsh said, “Our prosecutors and law enforcement
professionals will continue to actively investigate and charge offenders who
target our children by photographing and videotaping such despicable acts.

“This case exemplifies the important role local and federal law enforcement
partnerships play in putting child predators behind bars,” said Shane
Folden, deputy special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations
Tampa. “Let this sentence serve as a warning to other predators. We will
find you, arrest you and ensure that you are prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.”
This case was investigated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s
Homeland Security Investigations and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office,
and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gayle Littleton. This
case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative
launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat the growing
epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States
Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and
Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local
resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit
children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For
