SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento man has been charged with the production and possession of child pornography.
Jayson Fernandez Butay, 25, allegedly produced child pornography with a minor victim in September 2019, then kept hold of the images for himself.

If convicted also of possession of child porn, Butay faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood from the Department of Justice, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
