AUGUSTA, GA: A U.S. Army major assigned to the U.S. Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon, Ga., has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.
Jason Michael Musgrove, 41, of Grovetown, was sentenced to 360 months in prison by U.S. District Court Chief Judge J. Randal Hall after pleading guilty to Production of Child Pornography, said Bobby L. Christine, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. Musgrove also was ordered to pay restitution of $9,000 to the victims and to register as a sex offender.
There is no parole in the federal system.
“While the timing is entirely coincidental, it nonetheless bears noting that Musgrove’s sentence comes just days after two FBI agents in Florida were killed while attempting to search the home of a child pornographer,” said U.S. Attorney Christine. “The disturbing and despicable nature of such predators only increases their danger to the community, and Musgrove’s long sentence immediately makes the community safer.”
At the time of his December 2019 arrest, Musgrove was an Integrated Threat Operations Officer with Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information clearance, assigned to the Army Cyber Joint Headquarters at Fort Gordon. Musgrove currently is facing administrative separation from the U.S. Army.
According to court testimony and documents, Musgrove admitted that he produced and attempted to share child pornography on the internet. His crimes were uncovered by the FBI.
“It is beyond comprehension that someone in a position sworn to protect American citizens would take advantage and traumatize vulnerable children,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI is committed to protecting our children by identifying and apprehending predators who commit such abhorrent crimes.”
The investigation was conducted by the FBI, and prosecuted for the United States by Assistant U.S. Attorney and Project Safe Childhood Coordinator Tara M. Lyons.
I wonder why these chumps do this stuff, knowing they will get caught eventually?

I remember there was a program on television that featured a sting operation wherein pervs would drive for hours and arrive believing they could have sex with a 13 year old.
Once there, a news anchor would interview them and the police would arrest him. I was stunned how many were repeat offenders - they had been caught in the SAME STING operation in earlier months, different location but same news anchor and same arrests - compulsive evil?
I wonder if they also get hooked on the money they make and continue even if afraid to get caught in order to sustain the higher life style.
Lastly, I think these operations are networks that protect each other. Then one person gets caught and the network unravels after they had thought they were safe.
I guess normal people aren’t designed to understand this stuff. :/ Too sick to make sense.
So that his prison pals can be warned?
Same reason anyone does any crime that carries a potentially lengthy prison sentence?
This needs more information, otherwise I will be forced to conclude:
- this guy is a fag (pederast)
- that the children involved were pubescent (pederasty)
At least someone is still guarding the guards--he must have thought he was too smart to get caught or else he's such a sick b@stard he didn't care.
BINGO!
He should ask for a pardon.
Why? Why would any cyber trained person ever get involved in an activity that he KNOWS will be discovered by his own peers.
What kind of hold does child porn have over the intellect of a human being?
Anybody in the Army Cyber Command has to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there are no cyber secrets.
He will get a pardon if he is a fag.
My son is in the Army Cyber Command. He’s told the wife and I that nothing is safe and that we should be changing our passwords weekly and they should have as many characters as possible. And even then nothing is safe. I can only imagine the things he can’t tell us.
” ordered to pay restitution of $9,000 to the victims “
Seriously? What is that supposed to do? It’s like spitting in their faces.
Agreed.
One wonders.
The child sexual abuse was the accusation hurled at people by leftists in most communist countries.
Castration won’t work. they still have the urge.
C’mon man, its just another alternate life style choice. /s
Unfortunately, in the current climate, one has to wonder, given his position, how much he knows about the election theft. General Flynn was willing to fall on a sword after the FIB pressured him with his family; could this same tactic have been used on the major?
This was for production of child porn, not possession. WHERE WERE THE PARENTS?
