Jamie Greer Spies, a 24-year-old from Reading, Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 90 months in prison for distributing child sexual abuse material. The sentencing took place in U.S. District Court and was announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

Spies pleaded guilty on July 22, 2025, before Judge Timothy J. Kelly to one count of distribution of child pornography. In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Kelly ordered that Spies serve ten years of supervised release and register as a sex offender.

Court documents state that an undercover officer with the MPD-FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force was monitoring an online group focused on trading images and videos involving underage children. While in this group, someone using the name “babygirl484”—later identified as Spies—contacted the undercover officer and expressed interest in images depicting the sexual abuse of young children.

Spies, who is the mother of a then 16-month-old son, went on to distribute several images and videos showing the sexual abuse of children, including infants and toddlers. After her arrest on May 2, 2025, investigators found 43 videos and 51 images of child sexual abuse materials on her phone.

U.S. Attorney Pirro made the announcement alongside FBI Assistant Director in Charge Darren B. Cox from the Washington Field Office and Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The investigation was led by the MPD-FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force with assistance from the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office and Allentown Resident Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Shinskie prosecuted the case.

This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in February 2006 to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. More information about Project Safe Childhood can be found at www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
