A former police officer at Aquia Harbour was sentenced today to more than 20 years in prison after he performed sex acts with an eight-year-old boy.
William Hurlbut, 29, of Fredericksburg, will spend 250 months in jail followed by 25 years of supervised release after he plead guilty in June to producing child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District Neil H. McBride.
Hurlbut performed sex acts on the child while he was sleeping and filmed the acts with his iPhone in 2009. McBride said Hurlbut knew the boy since he was just six-months-old.
A search of Hurlbut’s phone revealed more than 1,000 images and videos of child pornography, said McBride.
In addition to being a police officer at the gated Aquia Harbour subdivision in North Stafford, Hurlbut also was a volunteer firefighter in Spotsylvania County, McBride added.
