ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A woman who admitted to taking photos of children in the bathrooms of malls, stores and a church was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison Friday.
Heather McDorman, 32, was sentenced to 24 years in prison after pleading guilty to five counts of producing child pornography and two counts of attempting to produce child pornography.
Investigators said McDorman was directed by her boyfriend, Zachary Hamby, to go into the bathrooms of the stores and take pornographic photos of children between Feb. 1, 2018, and March 12, 2018.
McDorman told police Hamby also asked her on several occasions to inappropriately touch her 4-year-old son and photograph the acts, which she did, according to court documents.
On Friday, a federal judge sentenced McDorman to 288 months in prison.
Hamby was also charged with multiple crimes in connection with the 2018 incidents.
