(KFGO) – A man from Dunn County in western North Dakota has been sentenced to more than 37 years in federal prison for producing and attempting to produce child pornography.

Jason Hutchinson, 54, had placed hidden cameras in bathrooms to capture images of minors who were in various stages of nudity.

A warrant was served after an initial report to law enforcement last year. The investigation determined that Hutchinson had been using cameras since 1992 and had images of at least 11 minors between the ages of 5 and 17.

The Dunn County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations, and the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation put the case together. Hutchinson pleaded guilty.
