4th Fort Dix Inmate Admits Child Porn Possession In Prison: USAO

A fourth inmate at at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (FCI Fort Dix) has admitted to possessing videos of child sexual abuse while imprisoned on other similar charges, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.

Brian J. McKay, 47, of Brookhaven, Pa., pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography on Tuesday, according to Carpenito.

He admitted that he had a total of 593 images and 645 videos of child pornography on two micro SD cards, according to documents filed in the case and statements made in court. Some of those images depicted children being sexually abused and sadistic and masochistic sexual conduct involving infants and toddlers. McKay also admitted sharing child pornography with another inmate.

McKay was already serving 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography in his home state. He was scheduled to be released on June 28, 2021. He now faces a mandatory minimum term of 10 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 6.

He is the third person this month to admit his role in an alleged child pornography ring that involved a total of eight inmates in the prison.

The Virginia man who was accused of leading the ring already pleaded guilty to his role in the operation. Anthony C. Jeffries, 32, of Orange, Virginia, pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography. His sentencing is scheduled for July 10.

Jordan T. Allen, 31, of Plain City, Ohio, pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography. His sentencing is scheduled for July 17.

Erik M. Smith, 36, of Iron Mountain, Michigan, has already pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. His sentencing is scheduled for May 7.

Charges remain pending against:

• Christopher D. Roffler, 30, of Virginia Beach, Virginia;
• Jacob S. Good, 26, of Fredericksburg, Virginia;
• William H. Noble, 52, of Lowell, Massachusetts; and
• Charles Wesley Bush, 38, of Knoxville, Tennessee.

All those accused as part of this network were already serving sentences for prior child pornography offenses while committing the alleged crimes in this case. The pending charges and allegations are merely accusations, and these defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
