A Dallas man has been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison after he was found guilty of filming himself sexually assaulting girls as young as six years old.
Leigha Simonton, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas announced the sentence Wednesday, May 29, via press release.
Gemond Copage Miller, 34, was indicted in December 2021 and pleaded guilty in January 2024 to two counts of production of child pornography.
He was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr, who also ordered Miller to be supervised for life following his release from prison.
Miller filmed himself sexually assaulting children as young as six years old, then sold the footage on the internet according to court documents.
When watching video footage, investigators were able to match Miller’s tattoo to the distinctive tattoos shown in the footage.
At Wednesday’s sentencing hearing, prosecutors said Miller admitted to abusing at least ten girls under the age of twelve.
Law enforcement identified at least 38 videos of child sexual abuse material produced by Miller according to the release.
Authorities have not yet identified all of the victims that were involved.
Miller was also in possession of approximately 722 images and 1,733 videos consisting of child sexual abuse material.
“My sense of safety and security has been shattered,” said a 13-year-old victim in a statement read aloud by her mother.
The victim at the time was just six years old when she was first assaulted.
“I am the first victim to come forward… Knowing that there are others shows that this is what he does. This is who he is. And he does not care that he took the innocence of children.”
