Talent Competition Judge Sentenced In Child Porn Case

ORLANDO(CBSMiami/AP) — A central Florida acting coach and talent competition judge has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for producing child pornography.

John David Baker, 30, was sentenced last week in federal court in Orlando.

Authorities said Baker said he had sexually oriented chats online with minors from a talent competition.

Baker also created a fake Internet profile and persuaded two minors to send images of themselves engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

After seizing his computers, authorities found several images of minors engaged in sexual conduct.

Baker is a British citizen but resided in Celebration.
