Shemara Shay Mack-Smith, 42, of Accokeek, was sentenced to 108 months in prison, followed by 120 months of supervised release for the distribution of child pornography, federal authorities announced.

Mack-Smith set her own downfall in motion in late April 2020, when a concerned citizen who met her at a home in DC alerted the police that she had showed him child pornography while declaring that “she was sexually attracted to children,” according to the Department of Justice.

The tipster also advised law enforcement that, while exchanging messages with Mack-Smith, she sent him multiple videos and photos depicting the sexual abuse of children as young as toddlers.

Mack-Smith further solidified her fate during the investigation when she distributed several images of child porn to an undercover officer online.

A subsequent search of her home led to the seizure of her cellphone, which contained several videos and images depicting the sexual abuse of young children.

In addition to her prison term, Mack-Smith was also ordered to pay $3,000 in restitution to one of the minor victims involved in the case.
