A Granbury man who had been convicted of child porn once, did it again. This time he's going to prison for good.
A federal judge has sentenced 64-year-old David Earl Boyd to life plus 10-years for manufacturing child porn. Boyd was found guilty of two counts of producing child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography, and one count of penalties for registered sex offenders.
According to evidence presented at trial, in the spring of 2022, Mr. Boyd took sexually explicit images of two young children, aged 6 and 3.
Mr. Boyd’s son discovered nude images of the children in his father’s trash folder. He took a screenshot of the trash gallery and submitted a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which forwarded the tip to law enforcement.
After seizing his equipment, Federal agents found thousands more pictures.
“This sentence ensures Mr. Boyd will never again exploit a little child,” said U.S. Attorney Leigha Simonton. “I want to again thank Mr. Boyd’s son for reporting his father’s behavior to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It cannot have been easy, but it likely prevented further harm. We hope the families of the children already victimized will rest a little easier knowing Mr. Boyd will remain behind bars for the rest of his life.”
Boyd had been convicted of the possession of child pornography in Taylor County in 2003. At that time, the state sentenced him to three years and required him to register as a sex offender.
Homeland Security Investigations’ Dallas Field Office, the Hood County District Attorney’s Office, and the Dallas Police Department conducted the investigation.
