Blue Springs, MO —
A registered sex offender from Blue Springs was indicted for charges of producing child pornography and, if convicted, could spend life in prison.
William G. Weiss, 39, of Blue Springs, was charged in a four-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City, according to a press release issued by the Western District of Missouri.
Documents state that Weiss used a minor, identified as Jane Doe, to produce child pornography on three separate occasions between April 28 and June 16, 2011. The indictment also charges Weiss with committing those offenses at times when he was required to register as a sex offender.
Weiss has two prior felony convictions for attempted statutory sodomy.
If convicted, Weiss would be subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of life in federal prison without parole on each of the three counts of producing child pornography.
Weiss would also be subject to a mandatory consecutive sentence of 10 years in federal prison without parole if convicted of committing a sex felony crime involving a minor by a registered sex offender.
