A Levelland, Texas man who produced child sexual abuse material was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison, announced United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould.
Camilo Reyes Castillo, 47, pled guilty in October 2025 to seven counts of production of child pornography. He was sentenced on March 26, 2026, to 720 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix.
According to court documents, in early 2025, agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) learned that Castillo was likely producing and trading child sexual abuse material online. DPS investigated Castillo and his online presence and confirmed that he was involved in producing and sharing sexually explicit material involving young boys. In June 2025, DPS executed a search warrant at Castillo's residence in Levelland. Court documents reflect that Castillo agreed to speak with agents. Castillo claimed he "groped" the two male children over their clothes and recorded one of the children in the shower. Agents searched the contents of Castillo's cell phone and located approximately 170 photos and videos of child pornography in the deleted folder. Amongst the files were seven videos of child pornography Castillo produced of the two male children he claimed he groped. Date and timestamps from the videos revealed they were produced on March 11, 2025. The videos depicted Castillo sexually abusing two male children, ages 9 and 12. The children were identified and interviewed and described Castillo sexually abusing them.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation Dallas Field Office (Lubbock Resident Agency) and Texas Department of Public Safety conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Callie Woolam prosecuted the case.
