NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- A Navy Chief plead guilty Tuesday to production of child pornography.
Sterlin D. Williams, 38, admitted he created a video of himself engaged in sexual activity with a child under the age of 12-years-old during the summer of 2015.
That's according to the statement of facts filed with the plea agreement.
Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury on Nov. 17, 2016. He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison when sentenced on April 17.
Nah... I think people are misunderstanding the article... Navy Chief is slang for Chief Petty Officer, an enlisted rank similar to a Sergeant First Class in the Army. There are lots and lots of Navy Chiefs. I think people are misunderstanding this to mean "the head guy in charge of the whole Navy" and thinking this is some really top-level VIP when it isn't. There's no reason for some random chief petty officer to be connected to Hillary Clinton or anyone like that.
(Not to knock Navy Chiefs, they have an important job keeping the Navy running, but they aren't some kind of way-up-there big shots who would be hanging around cabinet secretaries and stuff.)

Production, not possession. BIG difference

Does anyone else wonder if he had a gun to his head while making that video? Maybe this was someone using blackmail against him

We need to keep this in awareness so that the judge does not issue a lenient sentence.

I wonder if this case is related to Anthony Wiener's laptop?

Thinking that's possible. No good evidence tying them yet, though.
