8/9/14 - A White Lake Township man has entered a plea to federal child pornography charges. 34-year-old John Millmine entered the plea after authorities say he shared explicit videos of himself and a toddler. Federal court records show Millmine pleaded guilty to one count of producing child pornography and one count of distributing it. He faces a minimum sentence of 15 years but could receive up to 30 years behind bars and be ordered to pay $250,000 in fines. Millmine came under suspicion last fall after the Homeland Security Investigations office in Detroit received information that an e-mail address linked to Millmine had received child pornography. A separate investigation then revealed that similar material was also sent out from that same address to a recipient in Ireland. When agents arrested Millmine November 11th on outstanding warrants for failing to pay child support and misdemeanor marijuana possession, they confiscated a smartphone that then linked him to numerous other female children. Millmine will be sentenced in U.S. District Court in Detroit December 9th. (JM)
