A now-disbarred South Florida attorney - who once served as a prosecutor - is set to spend more than a decade in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing child sexual abuse material, prosecutors announced on Monday.
A federal judge sentenced William Power McCaughan Jr. to 190 months in prison on Aug. 28.
McCaughan, 42, of Key Biscayne, pleaded guilty to one count of production of child sexual abuse material in May.
Court documents state that the investigation into McCaughan began in January 2023 after authorities caught a Texas man sharing an explicit video of his 11-year-old niece with an undercover FBI employee using the messaging app Kik.
Authorities found that he also shared that video with McCaughan, who asked the man to produce other videos of the girl.
