"Few crimes are as reprehensible as the sexual exploitation of a child," said United States Attorney Scott Murray. "The impact of such acts on the child, family members, and those close to them may be severe and long-lasting. The U.S. Attorney's Office is committed to protecting our children and making our community safer by prosecuting those who produce child pornography." "The production of child pornography is an assault against the most vulnerable members of our society, and with today's plea, Ms. Kerouac is accepting responsibility for preying on and exploiting her young victim," said Harold Shaw, special agent in charge with the FBI’s Boston office. "The FBI is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to identify and apprehend predators like her who carry out these heinous crimes." Kerouac will be sentenced on Nov. 20. Under the terms of a plea agreement, Kerouac will serve 25 years in prison and remain under supervised release for 20 years after she is released from prison.
