West Tennessee Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Enticement of a Minor

Jackson, TN – Garrett Baughman, 19, of Wildersville, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for soliciting sexually explicit images and videos from a thirteen-year-old child.  Joseph C. Murphy, Jr., Interim U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced the sentence today.

Baughman was charged with one count of production of child pornography; one count of use of a facility and means of interstate commerce to persuade, induce, entice a minor to engage in sexual criminal acts; and one count of receipt of child pornography. Following his guilty plea to the enticement of a minor charge, United States Senior District Judge J. Daniel Breen sentenced Baughman to 20 years in prison and five years of supervised release.  There is no parole in the federal system.

Additionally, Baughman must comply with the conditions of the Sexual Offender Registry upon his release.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Nashville-Jackson Resident Agency Child Exploitation Task Force and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Caroline Parish prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.

No road team has won in Neyland Stadium the last three-plus years — except for the one visiting on Saturday, Sept. 13.

Tennessee is 21-1 at home since the start of the 2022 season with the lone loss to Georgia football on Nov. 18, 2023.

The Bulldogs have geared up for the hostile environment.

“It’s going to be different when you go up there,” coach Kirby Smart said. “You’ve got to be prepared for it. You’ve got to have confidence in your plan. You’ve got to go execute as a unit. It’s not you against 100,000. It’s you against 11 on 11.”

Tennessee is putting up points in a big way so far with 45 against Syracuse and 72 against East Tennessee State, but the Bulldogs have allowed just 13 total against Marshall and Austin Peay.

“They’re physical, play a lot of press man,” Tennessee wide receiver Braylon Staley said. “They’re a talented defense. We’ve got to come in with the mindset we’re going to dominate as well.”
