An inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (FCI Fort Dix) has been sentenced to an additional 13 years, four months in prison for possessing hundreds of images and videos of child sexual abuse while incarcerated on similar charges, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.

Jordan T. Allen, 31, of Plain City, Ohio, previously pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography.

He admitted that he possessed a micro SD Card containing 577 images and 340 videos of children being sexually abused, including videos of sadistic and masochistic sexual conduct involving infants and toddlers, according to documents filed in the case and statements made in court. He also admitted that he distributed child pornography to another inmate.

Allen was already serving eight and a half years after pleading guilty to one count of receipt of child pornography in his home state. He was scheduled to be released on Dec. 30, 2018, meaning he will now be in prison until 2032.

He will also be subject to 10 years of supervised release. Restitution will be determined at a later date.
Six other inmates — all of whom were serving sentences for prior child pornography offenses while committing the alleged crimes in this case — have also pleaded guilty to participating in the child pornography ring.
