Cumberland Man Gets 18 Years For Child Porn

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A 72-year-old Cumberland man has been sentenced to 18 1/2 years in prison for sexually exploiting a minor to produce child pornography.

James Widdows was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Baltimore. He pleaded guilty in April.

According to his plea agreement, Widdows 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.
