Dr. White, a former Lubbock, Texas-based dentist, was indicted on charges of production of child pornography, receipt and distribution of child pornography, and enticement of a minor in February 2021. In August, additional charges were filed after prosecutors alleged crimes involving seven victims over the span of 15 years. A civil suit was also filed on behalf of one victim seeking $10 million in damages.

He pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography in September.

In addition to his prison sentence, Dr. White must forfeit his home and 966-acre ranch where the crimes were committed.
