Teen-Webcam-biz sentencing

One of the adults who aided Justin Berry's child pornography business was sentenced to 150 years n prison, the New York Times reports. "The man, Gregory J. Mitchel, 39, pleaded guilty in January to charges involving the sexual exploitation of boys and the operation of illegal Web sites. Mr. Mitchel was an administrator on several of the sites and admitted in his plea to producing and distributing child pornography." He was implicated by now 19-year-old Berry last September. The New York Times broke the story of Berry's Webcam business, started when he was 13, last December. As a result of the story, Berry testified about his experience before the US House of Representatives Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee last April.
