Collingdale woman gets 25 years in child-porn case

The third defendant in a case that federal prosecutors called the most heinous case involving child pornography they have seen was sentenced today in U.S. District Court.

Concetta Jackson, 46, of Collingdale, will spend the next 25 years in jail.

The Delaware County woman is a codefendant of John Jackey Worman, 42, of Colwyn, who was sentenced last month to 120 years in prison for manufacturing child pornography.

Jackson allowed Worman to install hidden cameras in her home and helped him lure children through her babysitting service. She pleaded guilty on Sept 2, 2008, to one count of use of a minor to depict sexually explicit conduct.

In 2006, investigators found 1.2 million images of child pornography and 11,000 video clips on Worman's computer after one of the victims came forward. Worman, who was diagnosed as a pedophile with an antisocial personality disorder, videotaped himself in sexual acts with children as young as six weeks old.

Dorothy Prawdzik, a former girlfriend of Worman, was sentenced in April to 30 years for her part in the sexual exploitation and abuse of her four young nieces.
