Otago Daily Times

A federal judge in Mississippi has sentenced John Joseph Maillet to 30
years in prison on charges of coercing an underage girl to pose with
poisonous snakes for child pornography.  Maillet pleaded guilty in
September to one count of production of child pornography.  Prosecutors
say the girl was 15 when Maillet first enticed her in April 2007 to
pose for pictures that included his pet snakes.
