Greene County man sentenced to 338 years in prison for producing child pornography

A federal judge told a Clarksville man sentenced to 338 years behind bars Tuesday that his production of child pornography with a young girl was the “worst of its kind” that she’d seen, calling it “an entirely heinous crime.”
“It’s hard to know what to say to you. You committed indefensible conduct,” U.S. District Judge Donetta W. Ambrose told Eric J. Stull, 50, of Greene County.
Between 2006 and 2015, Stull produced 39 videos and took 106 photos of his sexual exploitation of a young girl. The abuse, prosecutors said, started when the girl was less than 2 years old, and continued until she was 11.
Stull pleaded guilty in the case last year to charges of production, distribution and possession of materials showing the sexual exploitation of a minor. At the time, he was already serving a 680-year state prison term for raping the victim in the federal case. The videos that he took and was federally prosecuted for, chronicled the abuse.
In addition, he possessed images of child pornography involving children, some of whom were under 12.
The case came to light when state police discovered videos of the abuse online in 2016.
Ambrose’s order also indicated that Stull would be sentenced to a lifetime of supervised release, though that provision will never kick in as Stull is serving 1,018 years behind bars between the state and federal sentences.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the U.S. Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals, who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
