A Dodge City woman was sentenced Monday to serve 21 ½ years in federal prison for making a video of herself engaged in sex acts with a small child and uploading the video to the Internet, according to a release from Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall.
Ashley Marie Kelly, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of producing child pornography. In her plea, she admitted she used a smartphone to record the acts and posted the video to her Google Drive account.
Google discovered the photographs and sent reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

According to the grand jury indictment, Kelly videotaped the exposed genitals of a 2-year-old girl on Jan. 24, 2014, and then recorded herself performing oral sex on the girl and touching the child’s exposed genitals in separate videos recorded Feb. 13, 2014.
Ford County District Court records show Kelly was convicted of five counts of sexual exploitation of a child for possessing visual depictions of children under age 18, stemming from a May 2014 arrest. Under a November 2014 plea agreement prosecutors dropped 18 other counts and Kelly was placed on three year’s of supervised probation.
Beall commended the Ford County Sheriff’s Office, the Wichita Police Department, the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart for their work on the case.
