LOS ANGELES (CN) – An Antelope Valley man faces 15 to 30 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to making videos of himself sexually molesting a 3-month-old baby. Robert Dale Schrader, 33, of Littlerock, Calif., pleaded guilty Wednesday to a federal charge of producing child pornography. He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years. Law enforcement began investigating him in January after he communicated via email with an undercover agent based in England, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Officers executed a search warrant at Schrader’s home in January, “where they rescued the infant who had been molested,” the U.S. attorney said. They also found child pornography. Schrader will be sentenced on Aug. 18. Littlerock is a town of 1,500 in the high desert east of Los Angeles.
