Description: Nashville, TN - The United States of America charged Cecil Clint Woodard with possession and transportation of child pornography.

Cecil Clint Woodard, 42, of Nashville, Tennessee, was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for child pornography offenses.

Woodard was charged in a 22-count indictment in August 2017 and pleaded guilty in January 2019 to 14 counts of production of child pornography; 6 counts of transportation of child pornography and 1 count of possession of child pornography.

According to court documents, during April through June 2016, Woodard subjected a 3-year-old child to multiple acts of sexual abuse, including rape. While committing these acts, at his Nashville home on 14 separate occasions, Woodard recorded over 300 sexually explicit images and produced more than 20 videos of this child and distributed it on the internet on numerous occasions.

Woodward was arrested on June 11, 2016, by officers with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department and was in possession of other images and videos that he collected from the Internet that depicted other minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Court records also illustrate that Woodard had previously sexually molested another child while she was between nine and 12 years of age and on other occasions he pretended to be a 15-16 year-old male while online, in an attempt to secure more sexually explicit images of children.

This case was investigated by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department and the FBI.
