A Virginia political figure known for his work with Democratic campaigns has been arrested on federal charges connected to the distribution of child pornography, authorities revealed. Randon Alexander Sprinkle, 30, was taken into custody after an undercover FBI investigation alleged he exchanged illicit material while communicating with an agent posing as another user online, according to CBS 6 News Richmond WTVR on Friday.
According to a detailed FBI affidavit, the case began in May when Sprinkle, using the name Randy, engaged with what he believed was another user on the social app Jack’d.
According to the affidavit, he later convinced the agent to continue their interaction on Telegram, where he allegedly suggeted he had a sexual interest in “young, rape, incest,” the FBI said.
