GAINESVILLE, FL (352today.com) – Authorities say a couple from Florida pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.

The State Attorney’s Office (SAO) of the Northern District of Florida says 40-year-old Timothy Frederick Murphy-Johnson of Gainesville and 21-year-old Olivia Ashford Henn of Orlando entered “guilty pleas to conspiracy to produce child pornography, and two counts of production of child pornography.”

They say Murphy-Johnson also pleaded guilty to transporting the child involved from Texas to Florida for the purpose of sexual abuse.

At the hearings, the SAO says Murphy-Johnson admitted to causing a child to be transported from Corpus Christi to Gainesville in June 2023. They say between June 11, 2023, and July 25, 2023, the child was “maintained” at Murphy-Johnson’s residence in Gainesville.

“The child was subjected to extreme sexual abuse which was filmed by both Murphy-Johnson and Henn,” said SAO in a release.

They say during the time, both individuals engaged in multiple conversations in person, by cell phone, and through internet-based messaging where they discussed the child’s physical and mental condition. They say the two also discussed sexual acts involving the child and “their mutual concern regarding being arrested if discovered by law enforcement.”

On July 25, 2023, the SAO says law enforcement officers began investigating the disappearance of the child from Texas and executed a search warrant at Murphy-Johnson’s home. Authorities rescued the child and then arrested Murphy-Johnson and Henn.

The sentencing for both individuals is scheduled to take place on June 25, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. at the United States Courthouse in Gainesville, according to the SAO.

Murphy-Johnson faces up to 15 years to life imprisonment and five years to life on supervised release. According to the release, Henn faces a sentence of 15 to 90 years in prison and five years to life on supervised release.
