GLOUCESTER, Va. (WAVY) — A Gloucester teen is facing years in federal prison after being charged with producing and distributing child pornography.

Asia T. Billups, 18, of Gloucester, was arrested July 18 by federal authorities after investigators say she sent videos on multiple occasions to a man in New Jersey that contained “sexually explicit images” of minors.

The affidavit, filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia, doesn’t identify the number of victims, though evidence suggests there could be multiple.

Billups declined an interview request from Western Tidewater Regional Jail, where she is currently being held.

A member of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force wrote that the investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Acting on that tip, prosecutors from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office in Sommerville, New Jersey interviewed a man who had numerous sexually explicit images of minors on his phone, according to the affidavit.

10 On Your Side is not naming the man involved, as there is no evidence he has formally been charged.

The man told detectives he received the images from a women he met on Snapchat.

That woman, later identified as Billups, had been messaging the New Jersey man on “Whatsapp” since early April.

Detectives were able to see their messages on both May 31 and June 1.

On both days, Billups sent the man videos, showing someone performing a sexual act on a toddler.

After seeing one of the messages, the man writes: “Wished they would let you do that again and film it.”

Billups responds: “Parents don’t know. This isn’t the same.”

There is no indication where the videos were filmed.

However, the affidavit does indicate that the an IP address connected to Billups returned to Gloucester High School.

Dr. Anthony Vladu, superintendent of Gloucester County Public Schools, confirmed Billups graduated from the school on Jan. 31. He said she was not a student during the time of the alleged crimes.

“No student should have access to any email address or any accounts,” Vladu said. “These accounts are deactivated once a student completes graduation requirements.”

Vladu didn’t rule out, however, that Billups could have activated school WiFi from school grounds if on property for another event.

“Gloucester County Public Schools uses advanced content filters, firewalls, and other methods to ensure that students are safe online,” Vladu said. “We were unaware of an FBI investigation prior to receiving this email.”
