A Chattanooga man was sentenced Wednesday to 16 years and eight months in federal prison for having a 3-year-old perform sexually explicit conduct and creating child pornography.
“I have nothing to say, your honor,” Nyas Antonio Watson said Wednesday in Chattanooga’s federal court.
Watson, 24, previously pleaded guilty in April to one count of exploitation of a minor, according to a plea agreement.
“More specifically, law enforcement officials recovered a digital image of the defendant and a 3-year-old child in which the child’s hands are in visible contact with the defendant’s genitals,” the agreement said.
Officials found another corresponding video file from the same incident in which Watson instructs the child in a sexual manner.
