School bus driver pleads guilty to porn charges
Posted: 02/07/2012
GREENBELT, Md. (AP) - A Maryland man who drove a school bus has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.
Scott Smallwood of Upper Marlboro pleaded guilty Tuesday.
Smallwood was arrested after he inadvertently left a cell phone memory card containing sexually explicit videos at a 7-Eleven. Multiple videos depicted a 7-year-old taking part in the explicit conduct. Investigators searching Smallwood's home later found notebooks containing charts and lists of sexual contact he had with several children.
The 29-year-old drove a Prince George's County public school bus, primarily for elementary school-aged children. According to his guilty plea, he also apparently drove the 7-year-old involved in the videos to church.
He faces between 15 to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced June 5.
