A Vancouver man was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 20 years in prison for producing and receiving child pornography.
Michael J. Gilbert, 56, admitted to producing sexually explicit videos of two girls when they were as young as 5 and 6, according to a bulletin from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The videos were made multiple times during the past five years.
When FBI agents searched his home, they seized three pornographic videotapes Gilbert made, and found more than 6,000 images of child pornography in his computer, the bulletin said.
FBI undercover agents first identified Gilbert as a suspect during an investigation of peer-to-peer file sharing on the Internet.
