Paul Emerson Schofield was a corrections officer at Jefferson City Correctional Center in Missouri. He and his wife pled guilty to “one count of conspiracy to produce child pornograph and one count of producing child pornography” according to the Department of Justice. The child they sexually assaulted was under twelve during the three years the pair abused them to produce child sexual abuse material. There was a video of them sexually assaulting an unconscious four-year-old child. The DOJ press release is much more detailed.

Couple plead guilty to federal child pornography charges November 9, 2023 | Jefferson City News-Tribune (MO) Author/Byline: News Tribune Staff; news@newstribune.com | Page: A5 | Section: News 273 Words | Readability: Lexile: 1660, grade level(s): >12 Read News Document A former officer at the Jefferson City Correctional Center and his wife pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal child pornography charges. Paul Schofield, 35, and Sara Schofield, 30, both of Jefferson City, each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography and one count of producing child pornography. Each face 30-40 years in prison. Sentencing hearings will be scheduled at a later date. The federal indictment alleges the Schofields produced child porn during a nearly threeyear period from July 29, 2019, to June 7, 2022, involving a victim under the age of 12. According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaints, the investigation began when law enforcement received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on April 25, 2022. Kik, a free online social media platform, reported a user later identified as Paul Schofield had uploaded multiple videos of child sexual exploitation material. Authorities executed a search warrant at the Schofields' residence June 7. A forensic examiner conducted a preview of Paul Schofield's cell phone and located several videos of child pornography, including infants engaged in sexual contact with adults. Examiners later found videos on both of the Schofield's phones where they allegedly sexually assaulted an unconscious victim under the age of 12. On June 9, officers executed another search warrant at the Schofields' residence where they seized Sara Schofield's cell phone which allegedly contained another sexually explicit video of the same victim in which the voices of Paul and Sara Schofield can be heard. The case was part of the nationwide Project Safe Childhood initiative, launched in 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, according to a news release.
