A former State Department employee pleaded guilty Monday to the production of child pornography, prosecutors said.
Skydance MacMahon, 44, of Alexandria was a digital media administrator at the Foreign Services Institute of the U.S. Department of State in Arlington when he conspired to create more than 1,000 sexually explicit images of minor children, United States attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger of the Eastern District of Virginia said in a statement.

A mother from Halifax, Canada has also been charged in connection with the child sex case. According to investigators, the mother, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the child victims, was working with MacMahon as part of an elite pedophile ring that was trafficking children across borders to be sold into sex slavery and child porn.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/former-state-department-employee-sentenced-producing-child-pornography
According to court documents, over at least a two year period, Skydance MacMahon, 45, conspired with an adult in Canada to produce over a thousand sexually explicit images and videos of minor children in Canada. These images and videos were produced at the direction of MacMahon using Skype and hidden cameras as well as overt recording. MacMahon distributed these image and video files to other users and consumers of child pornography by providing access to the files on his cloud storage services and also by directly sending the files to other users. In addition to the child pornography images and videos MacMahon himself created, he also received and possessed thousands of images and videos of child pornography.

According to the Dept of Justice https://archive.fo/zdJPg
State Department Employee Pleads Guilty to Producing Child Pornography
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Nancy McNamara, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and Steve A. Linick, Inspector General for the Department of State, made the announcement after U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga accepted the plea. Assistant U.S. Attorney Whitney Dougherty Russell is prosecuting the case.

According to local news reports, police have laid more than a dozen charges against the 39-year-old woman including multiple counts of sexual assault, interference, exploitation, and making, distributing and possessing child pornography.
The woman is not seeking bail and will remain in custody until her next court appearance on July 26.
During the time he committed these offenses, MacMahon was a Digital Media Administrator at the Foreign Services Institute of the U.S. Department of State in Arlington.
He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum penalty of 60 years in prison when sentenced on October 12.
Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. WHY?
A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

'MacMahon had the woman set up a clock with a hidden camera in her bathroom. While he was at work at the Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Virginia, he streamed live video from that camera of the woman and her 9-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors say MacMahon, 44, produced more than 1,000 sexually explicit images of children in Canada, and had thousands of other images and videos in his possession.
Investigators caught MacMahon by following a digital trail, using information from Dropbox, Comcast, Facebook and the app
Federal government agencies are combatting voluminous and criminal pornography viewing by employees, an investigation by the News4 I-Team found.
First, a sex offender in Hamilton Township, Ohio, admitted to sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl. He told police in November 2017 that he used Kik to trade images of the abuse for other child pornography.
He gave his phone to police, and they found Dropbox folders containing child porn. Many of the images and videos showed a woman and a girl. The folders also included two non-pornographic photos of a man.
Investigators subpoenaed Dropbox for account information, including the users' IP addresses. One account was linked to an IP address at the Foreign Service Institute and a second IP address elsewhere. Law enforcement subpoenaed Comcast to learn the second location. It was the Alexandria home of a woman called J.M. in court documents.
Then, public Facebook pages helped investigators.
Authorities found J.M.'s Facebook page and saw photos of the man they saw in the Dropbox folder. It was MacMahon. On his Facebook page, officials saw a comment from a woman. Her page showed that she and her daughter were the woman and child in the child pornography in the Dropbox folder. They lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the woman's page said.
On March 15, Canadian police arrested the woman, called K.C. in court documents. She told police she had known MacMahon for about 12 years. She said that for about a year, she had sexually assaulted her daughter and made photos and videos for MacMahon.
K.C. told police MacMahon sent her the clock with the hidden camera and told her how to set it up.
On March 16, law enforcement interviewed MacMahon. He admitted to using the hidden camera to watch K.C. and her child. He said he used Kik and Dropbox on his work iPhone and had child pornography in his office at the Foreign Service Institute.
"Skydance MacMahon admitted that the investigators would find and view child pornography in his Dropbox account that remained on his personal laptop currently in his office," court documents say.
MacMahon, who is married with at least one child, told investigators he never touched a child sexually.'

Absolutely revolting. What sick pieces of shit. That poor girl having her own mother sexually abuse her among many others. I hope she will be placed in good therapy in a loving environment to heal as much as she can from this. And ‘Skydance’ what the hell kind of name is that? Sounds like a real stand up guy. Wonder who’s got the IP list now???

He was into Cosplay 'entertaining' children. Which means he had constant access to children, and I bet he abused some of these children.

Logs from skype should have his ip and any ips he connected to. Even if someone used a vpn, that just makes it take longer to trace the vpn connection. Skydancer, likely had a list of who he was providing crap to, so their is likely a log somewhere. Also, bank payments can be traced. It all takes time, but is doable.
