CAMDEN, NJ—A Burlington County, New Jersey man was sentenced today to 30 years in prison for his role in producing images of child sexual abuse, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
David Clark, 49, of Southampton, New Jersey, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez in to an information charging him with three counts of producing child pornography. Judge Rodriguez imposed the sentence today in Camden federal court.

Bernardi; and detectives with the New Jersey State Police, under the direction of Col. Rick Fuentes; and the New Jersey Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory, with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.
