TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A Tacoma woman has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for distributing child pornography.
The Department of Justice says Lynn Burnworth and her boyfriend Michael Kellar were arrested in 2017 after a passenger on a flight to San Jose noticed disturbing texts between Kellar and Burnworth and alerted a flight attendant.
Court documents say an investigation found that the couple had taken sexually explicit images of children placed in Burnworth’s care and had discussed drugging and raping the children.
In 2020, Michael Kellar pleaded guilty to conspiracy to produce child pornography and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
