A registered sex offender who called Democrats pedophiles on Facebook has been sentenced to 27 years for filming the sexual abuse of a child.
Shawn Keith Green, a 55-year-old registered sex offender from Duplin County, North Carolina, has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing child sexual abuse material. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, a cloud storage service flagged uploads linked to Green, and the Secret Service found over 10,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse on his account, some involving newborns.
In February 2022, Green live streamed himself sexually abusing a child and offered to pay an unidentified woman to abuse a 10-year-old. The victims have not been identified. Green had previously served nearly 10.5 years in state prison after a 2007 guilty plea to multiple counts of rape and sexual offenses against three women.
Green’s Facebook page featured posts calling Democrats “pedophiles,” mocking LGBTQ people, and spreading political misinformation — while he was actively producing and storing thousands of files depicting the sexual abuse of children.
