A 25-year-old Little Rock man was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in federal prison for extortion and production of child pornography, the U.S. attorney's office in Little Rock said.

Devion Cumbie was found guilty on seven charges: production of child pornography, two counts of attempted production of child pornography, and four counts of extortion, according to a press release from the U.S. attorney’s office. U.S. District Judge James Moody Jr. sentenced Cumbie on Thursday.
