A man from Water Valley, Texas, was sentenced today to serve 60 years in prison for producing hundreds of videos and images of himself sexually abusing a child.
Douglas Stephen Groover, 37, was sentenced after pleading guilty in February 2020 to two counts of production of child pornography. The sentence, which was imposed by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, also included a lifetime term of supervised release and a restitution award of $53,000.
According to court documents, in addition to the hundreds of videos and images he created of himself sexually abusing a minor, he also admitted to sexually abusing at least two additional minors. Groover also admitted to maintaining a large collection of child pornography, which included depictions of the sexual abuse of infants and toddlers, sadism and bestiality.
The case was investigated by HSI’s San Angelo, Texas, office, and the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from the High Technology Investigative Unit within the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division. Trial Attorney Kyle P. Reynolds of CEOS and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey R. Haag prosecuted the case along with former Assistant U.S. Attorney Russell H. Lorfing.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Bad, bad LeRoy Brown and Bubba will have lots of fun with him.
“How strange. Water Valley is a caution light east Of San Angelo where every body knows everybody but not a word about his occupation or any personal details. It makes you wonder...”
Principal?
Teacher?
Scout Leader?
Politician?
Religious Leader?
I’m noticing they are being very careful to avoid giving a clue as to the sex of the minor, which leads me to think this was gay abuse.
I sometimes peek at the Federal Bureau of Prisons website when I learn of a Federal prisoner. They list release dates like “death” or “life” or “2057”.
Friend of Hillary?
If I had Jeff Bezos’ money, I would hire people to quietly eliminate child molesters and pornographers and sex traffickers.
Former US Rep, Ted Poe, when he was a judge, would sentence people like this to the general population in Huntsville.
They didn’t last long.

This is evidence beyond any shadow of a doubt that satanic individuals sit in the legislatures and on the benches of the courts in this country, because this animal should have been summarily executed within hours after being declared guilty of those heinous crimes.
I'm gonna go with teacher.
Actually it’s 23 miles nth west of Angelo but You’re correct in the rest your description and comment. I’m a few counties nth of there.
The simple fact that this is not a capital offense tells us how depraved our society has become.
Regardless of what would happen to him in prison, he should not be sent there. He should be expeditiously disposed of - permanently.
Why not just put a .45 in his forehead and be done with him? He deserves it.
37 years old and sentenced to 60 years in prison PLUS
“”also included a lifetime term of supervised release.””
If he finishes the 60 year sentence, he’ll be 97 and THEN he’ll have a lifetime term of supervised release??? Have judges gone nuts? Don’t answer that!
Democrat?
Democrat?
“Wait. What? A lifetime term of supervised release? What does that mean?”
It means he’ll be available for someone to put two between his running lights.
SPJNK.
Yep
There is a special place in HELL.
Castration, either chemical or actual.
Then put him in Epstein’s old cell.
(BTW, Epstein didn’t kill himself.)
