A Florida couple entered guilty pleas to conspiracy to produce child pornography and two counts of production of child pornography.
Timothy Frederick Murphy-Johnson, 40, of Gainesville, Florida, and Olivia Ashford Henn, 21, of Orlando, pleas were announced by Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Murphy-Johnson also pleaded guilty to transporting the child from Texas to Florida for the purpose of sexual abuse.
According to the Department of Justice, Murphy-Johnson admitted to causing a child to be transported from Corpus Christi, Texas, to Gainesville, Florida, in early June 2023.

Between June 11, 2023, and July 25, 2023, the child was maintained at Murphy-Johnson’s residence in Gainesville, Florida.
The child was subjected to extreme sexual abuse, which both Murphy-Johnson and Henn filmed, according to the DOJ.
During this time, Murphy-Johnson and Henn engaged in numerous conversations—in person, by cell phone, and through internet-based messaging—in which they discussed the child’s physical and mental condition, sexual acts involving the child, and their mutual concern regarding being arrested if discovered by law enforcement.
On July 25, 2023, law enforcement officers investigating the reported disappearance of the child from Texas executed a search warrant at Murphy-Johnson’s residence in Alachua County, Florida.
The child was rescued, and Murphy-Johnson and Henn were arrested.
Sentencing for both Murphy-Johnson and Henn is scheduled for June 25, 2024, at 11:30 a.m., at the United States Courthouse in Gainesville before United States District Judge Allen C. Winsor.
