Gamel told the court that he sexually abused the victim and recorded it on at least four occasions. The victim was under the age of 14 at the time of each recording.

Gamel admitted keeping the video files of his abuse as well as possessing more than 1,700 media files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) that he found online.

A U.S. District Court judge sentenced Gamel to 40 years in federal prison.
