NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A Mathews County man was sentenced to life in prison on Monday for "engaging in a conspiracy to produce child pornography in connection with a purported 'teen modeling' endeavor," according to a news release from Raj Parekh, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Court records say 54-year-old William Hooper conspired with 54-year-old Jennifer Hutchens of Gloucester to produce sexually abusive images of two underage girls in April and May 2019. Hooper and Hutchens also coerced one of the girls to engage in sexually explicit conduct.
