The couple admitted to uploading sexually explicit videos of themselves abusing kids as young as eight months, a Texas U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
A Texas U.S. Attorney’s Office labeled a husband and wife "two of the most wicked criminals in Texas history” on Wednesday while announcing that both were sentenced to 60 years in prison for the sexual exploitation of children and the production of child pornography.
By pleading guilty, the Almaguers — both 27 — admitted to uploading sexually explicit videos of themselves assaulting children as young as eight months old, the Western District of Texas U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a release. A federal judge in Waco gave the couple the maximum prison sentences. "The youngest victim was an infant. And the nature of the abuse was unimaginable. They also made videos of the children’s torture and shared them.”
