Tyler Photographer Convicted for Child Porn

A Tyler photographer who did senior portraits for some graduates in East Texas must serve 20 years in prison for producing child pornography.

Todd B. Fleming of McKinney was sentenced Tuesday in Tyler.

The 54-year-old Fleming pleaded guilty last October to sexual exploitation of children. Investigators said Fleming coerced juveniles to engage in sexually explicit conduct for producing child porn from 1999 to 2007.

Fleming was indicted in 2013 on two dozen counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography. He pleaded guilty to just one count involving several minors. The other charges were dropped.

Prosecutors said Fleming took high school senior photos and other images for some students in the Tyler Independent School District.
