A former Livingston County teacher is going to prison after being convicted of producing and posessing child porn.
Federal prosecutors say 33-year-old Derek Hagen of Batavia will spend 20 years in prison followed by 15 years on supervised release.
He was a teacher at a school in Dansville and also at the Brockport Childhood Development Center.
Prosecutors say Hagen engaged in sexual contact with a young child between January of 2018 and July of 2021.
Hagen videotaped their conduct and sent it to other people over the internet. Before that, he produced sexually explicit images of children entrusted to his care.
When caught, he had more than 50,000 pornographic images and videos.
