Elk Grove Man Pleads Guilty In Child Porn Case

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- A Northern California man is facing the prospect of decades in prison after admitting to producing child pornography.

Prosecutors say Bradley Dayley pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday to producing child pornography and to possessing sexually explicit images of minors.

The 40-year-old Elk Grove man has already pleaded guilty in state court to multiple counts of lewd acts with a child. He's facing 60 years to life when he's sentenced next month on the state charges.

Prosecutors say he's also facing 15 to 30 years in prison when he's sentenced in January on the federal charges.

Dayley was arrested in 2009 after officials with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified Elk Grove police that they had obtained images of a young girl that they thought was being sexually molested.
