Cumberland Man Admits Producing Child Pornography
BALTIMORE (AP) -- A 72-year-old Cumberland man has pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting a minor to produce child pornography.

He admitted that he made three videos of himself molesting the victim, starting in 2005 when she was 9 years old. Authorities also found other images of child pornography in his possession.
Widdows faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 8.
