A Rantoul, Kan., man has pleaded guilty to a charge of producing child pornography.

Ronald Schulz, 54, pleaded guilty today in a Kansas City, Kan., court.

He admits to communicating with an undercover agent in Sacramento, Calif., by sending photos of child pornography through email and other Internet forms of communication.

The images were traced to Rantoul, Kan.

A search warrant for his home was served in September. There, law enforcement found thousands of mages of child pornography. Among the worst photos included a 2-month-old girl who was a relative of Schulz. In the photos, Schulz was shown touching the child’s private area.

He could face between 15-30 years in prison, along with a fine of $250,000.
