WASHINGTON A U.S. State Department employee pleaded guilty Monday to producing thousands of images of videos of child pornography over a two-year period.
Skydance MacMahon, a 44-year-old Alexandria resident, used hidden cameras to produce sexually explicit images and videos of minor children in Canada, according to court documents. MacMahon worked with a woman in Canada to produce the child pornography and distributed the videos and images through cloud storage and email.
Police found pornographic images of children on an Ohio mans cellphone in November 2017, and authorities were able to link Dropbox media of child porn to an account associated with MacMahon, according to court documents.
MacMahon worked as a Digital Media Administrator at the Foreign Services Institute of the U.S. Department of State in Arlington while he committed the offenses, according to prosecutors.

All great questions.
This hack should be in jail NOW!
Good questions. I wonder how he passed a background check.
All good questions, Liz.
How sad this is. Especially for those of us who grew up believing in our government.
pssst, I still see sick freak in those drawings. How can YOU not?
Because it is a style of art that I enjoy. It is akin to Art Deco or Nouveau.
Yeah, this guy looks like someone mentally stable? All grown and wearing kid’s costumes. What kind of F’ed up world is this where this is normal?
Great questions. Want a job as the AG? Sessions should be asking these kinds of questions to the familiar culprits.
The dudes a freak and a pedophile and it is evidence in his “style” of “art”. Any grown man wearing “kiddie” costumes is a psycho.
” ... he worked in the state department under Obama,”
True, but Hillary was Secretary Of State, so she’s the closer connection.
To me, its a HUGE clue that he readily confessed to child porn......means even more serious crimes were committed.
Skydance. Say no more.
You know, I’m not into conspiracy theories but that Pizza gate thing always had a whiff of truth to it. Because it is so easy to believe these people are cruel and unnatural.
Ever run into this slime?
No, thankfully.
Ever heard of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
and we pay their salaries
Same here...but it seems to be getting traction.
Hmm...a distributor will have a distribution list, won’t he? Anonymous, of course, but these things can be traced. Someone’s doing some sweating right about now, and it will be interesting to see who suddenly drops out of sight.
