Third Fort Dix Inmate Given Extended Sentence In Child Porn Ring

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 imprisoned on other similar charges, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.

Brian J. McKay, 47, of Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, previously pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography.

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, meaning he will now be in prison until 2034.

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.

Erik M. Smith, 36, of Iron Mountain, Michigan, previously pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. He has been sentenced to 12 years, 10 months in prison and five years of supervised release.

Jacob S. Good, 26, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, previously pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography. He has been sentenced to 10 additional years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release. He will also likely be released from jail in 2034.

The other four inmates who have already pleaded guilty await sentencing.

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.

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

Christopher D. Roffler, 30, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography.

Charles Wesley Bush, 38, of Knoxville, Tennessee, pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography.

One inmate has been indicted in the scheme and is headed to trial next year. William H. Noble, 52, of Lowell, Massachusetts, was charged by indictment with conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography, receipt of child pornography, distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography, and accessing child pornography with intent to view on federal property. The charges and allegations against Noble are merely accusations, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
