A Somerset husband and wife will each serve a total of 100 years in prison following their sentencing Wednesday in federal court on child pornography production charges.
39-year-old Christopher Ethridge and his wife, 30-year-old Amy Ethridge, were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Chad Meredith.
Both had previously received 70-year sentences in Pulaski County Circuit Court in connection with the sexual assault of the same young child.
Christopher Ethridge was convicted of first-degree rape, while Amy Ethridge was convicted of complicity to commit first-degree rape.
The federal sentences will run consecutively to their state sentences, bringing the total prison time to 100 years for each defendant.
According to federal court information, the couple produced child sexual abuse material involving a toddler in August of 2024.
Investigators also uncovered evidence that the couple had discussed sexually abusing the child and had created a handwritten agreement outlining the abuse.
