Marek K. Grigsby pleaded guilty to producing child pornography and producing obscene images of the sexual abuse of children.

Grigsby sexually abused a victim, who was 5 and 6 years old during the time, and created child porn of the abuse, according to court documents.

He reportedly also made obscene images with a second 5-year-old victim.

Between the two victims, Grigsby made 54 videos and 137 images, according to the DOJ.
