CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge who sentenced a man for taking nude photos of his underage girlfriend during sex asked why the man was prosecuted for child pornography and said some people just like to photograph their sexual activities.
"He was ... having sex with a 14-year-old. I don't think society gives out medals for that," U.S. District Judge Harry S. "Sandy" Mattice (muh-TYS') said at the Monday sentencing. "But let's face it, some individuals like to photograph their sexual activities."
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that Mattice sentenced Brad A. Davis, 23, of Winchester, to four years and three months in prison.
Davis said at the Monday sentencing that the relationship was consensual and "I guess I'm going to jail for being in love."
Court records show the video and photos were not sold or given to anyone else.
Davis pleaded guilty in June to one count of knowingly possessing material that contained images of child pornography.
