GONZALES - Federal prosecutors said Thursday that a woman was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison after pleading guility to receiving child sexual abuse material produced by a photographer she arranged to take the images.

Hannah Kinchen, 41, pleaded guilty last year to receiving child sexual abuse material. Two conspiracy charges and one count of production of child pornography were dropped in return for her guilty plea, according to federal court documents.

According to admissions made during her guilty plea, beginning around July 2020 and continuing through at least February 2021, Kinchen communicated via the internet with a photographer who self-identified as a pedophile in order to set up a photo shoot for the victim.

Around Aug. 1, 2020, the photographer sent Kinchen most of the images, which she received and downloaded onto her computer, through a file-sharing website.

Following her 125-month sentence, Kinchen is to serve five years of supervised release, complete sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender.
