ST. LOUIS (CN) - A St. Louis man was sentenced to 290 years in federal prison for child pornography, the longest sentence ever imposed for such crimes in the Eastern District of Missouri.
A jury in April found Leland Beasley, 43, guilty of 10 counts of production of child pornography of two counts of possession of child pornography.
The 10 counts involved 10 victims.
Prosecutors said Beasley owned and operated a video game business called Gamestation Sector 19 in south St. Louis County, where several of the victims were molested and videotaped.
