Samuel Aaron Leonard, a 42-year-old man from New Port Richey, was arrested and charged with producing child pornography and interstate travel with intent to engage in a sexual act with a minor. Leonard had been messaging a 14-year-old girl over social media for months, pretending to be 20 years old, and convincing her to send him explicit images. He also mailed her a cell phone, but installed tracking software on it without her knowledge. Leonard planned to take a bus to Washington to be closer to the girl and perform sexual acts with her. He was arrested and found guilty, and now faces at least 15 years in federal prison.
