Sevier County Man Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography

A Sevier County man is headed to prison after he plead guilty in federal court to producing child pornography. Federal prosecutors say that back in February 2024, a cyber tip from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children led to an investigation which found the child pornography images were from a computer located in the home of 34-year-old Lucas Ray Hall of Sevierville. Investigators determined the victim was seven years old. Hall admitted to investigators that he took the images of that child at his home using his phone. Hall plead guilty this week in federal court in Knoxville to one count of production of child pornography. He was then sentenced to 30 years in prison.
