| Leland Beasley: He was given the largest sentence in the history of the federal court here. |
That's the largest sentence ever imposed by the Eastern District of Missouri, according to U.S. Attorney Rich Callahan.
Beasley, 43, was found guilty at a jury trial in April of ten counts of production of child pornography and two counts of its possession. He operated a business called Gamestation Sector 19.
Police said at the time of his indictment that the boys ranged in age from nine to fourteen years old, according to the South County Times.
The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Carol E. Jackson, who was appointed to her seat by then-President George H.W. Bush. She was the first woman ever appointed the bench in the Eastern District of Missouri.
