MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge in Mobile has sentenced a
man to 25 years in prison for child pornography that included
graphic computer images, and he still faces state charges of child
rape and sodomy.
Prosecutors say 30-year-old Matthew Joseph Viva moved to Mobile
from Minnesota and is accused of having sex with the 13-year-old
daughter of an acquaintance who had helped him find a job.
U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose heard evidence that Viva, who
pleaded guilty in November, sent some of those sex images to the
girl and persuaded her to have sex with him. Viva then filmed the
act with a digital camera and said he was going to sell the
pictures on the Internet.
At sentencing Thursday, Viva told the judge he was very sorry
for the images found on his computer, calling it filth.

ASDA- they need to give him a pink jumpsuit to boot, so that he will stand out better in the general pop. Karma is a B*^%$&!!!!

They should let him go into the general population with all the other inmates. We can not put them to death anymore but we do not have to give them protective custody. Let the guys in the prison yard take care of him.
