FDIC Attorney Pleads Guilty to Conspiring To Sexually Exploit Multiple Underage Girls On The Internet

A former FDIC attorney pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiring to sexually exploit multiple children.

Court documents state that between January 2018 and October 2021, FDIC attorney Mark Black was a member of two online groups dedicated to exploiting children.

The goal of the two groups was to locate prepubescent girls online. Then they convince the pre-teen girls to livestream themselves engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Black and his co-conspirators would covertly record this conduct and share the videos with each other.

In July 2019, Black also induced a prepubescent minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct on a live-streaming application. Black secretly screen-recorded the activity.

That same month, Black and a co-conspirator groomed another prepubescent minor to engage in sexually explicit acts. Additionally, enticed her to do it on a photo and video-sharing application. The co-conspirator surreptitiously hacked into that girl’s live-video feed. He recorded the sexual acts and then sent them to Black.

Black was a former president of the Arlington Aquatic Club in Arlington, Virginia.

As a result of the incriminating evidence, Black pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography. He also pleaded guilty to one count of coercion and enticement.

A federal judge has scheduled a sentencing hearing on April 30th. Black faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison. 

The FBI and FDIC-OIG investigated the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. The DOJ launched the initiative in May 2006. It is lead by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.
