Houston resident Edward Jorodge Gladney jailed for 60 yrs for producing child porn

Back in March 2012 E.G., a Houston (Texas) Resident, entered a plea of guilty for producing and advertising child pornography, producing child pornography as far back as 2002 as well as advertising those images for sale via the Internet. The case was initiated following an anonymous tip to crime stoppers advising of an adult male being indecent with young boys. The investigation revealed he manipulated four (possibly more) boys for the purposes of capturing their images and then advertising those images for sale on the WorldWideWeb.

The exploitation continued for years and allowed Gladney to create thousands of images and hundreds of videos of young children which were disseminated via the Internet. The images and videos included graphic depictions of boys in provocative positions and boys and adults engaging in oral and anal sex.

Additionally, Gladney had collected thousands of images and videos containing children other than his personal victims, one of the which included a forcible sexual assault of a young boy in which the screams of the child can be heard.

The charges are the result of an investigation conducted by members of the Innocent Images Unit of the FBI, including task force officers from the Houston Police Department, which focuses its attention on investigating offenses involving the exploitation of children via the Internet.

This case, prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sherri Zack, was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation andabuse.

Pedophile Gladney

Investigators in the Houston Police Department Juvenile Division have arrested a male suspect for possession of child pornography and believe other children were victimized too.

The suspect, Edward G. has been charged with 5 counts of possession of child pornography in the 230th State District Court.  A photo of G. is attached to this news release because investigators believe there may be other victims who might be able to recognize the suspected Pedophile.

HPD Juvenile Division Senior Police Officer J. Barnes reported:

On June 16, a search warrant was executed on G’s home at 13927 Grafton Bridge Lane. During the course of the search, multiple pornographic photographs were found in the suspect’s residence. G. admitted the photographs had been taken in his car, a 2003 Tan with Texas license plates.

G. was arrested the following day (June 17).

Investigators believe that photos found in the suspect’s possession indicated there are other children he might have had contact with.

Anyone with information on other possible victims is urged to call the HPD Juvenile Division at 713-731-5335.

LATEST: Edward G. has been sentenced to serve a total of 720 months inprison following his convictions for producing and advertising childpornography
