Alma man sentenced to 200 years in prison for possession of explicit videos of underaged girls, prosecutor says

A jury found Keith Gregory guilty of nearly 40 criminal counts and sentenced him to nearly 200 years in prison.

ALMA, Arkansas — According to Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin Holmes, a jury found 40-year-old Keith Gregory guilty of nearly 40 criminal counts and sentenced him to almost 200 years in prison.

Holmes's announcement came the day after a jury in Crawford County found Gregory guilty of 21 counts of possession of explicit materials involving underage girls and 17 counts of video voyeurism. Gregory is facing 198 years in prison.

Along with prison time, Gregory must pay $380,000 in fines, Holmes said.

Holmes said in January 2023, the Alma Police Department received a report about "a possible video voyeurism" discovered on Jan. 3. 2023. The report led authorities to execute a search warrant against Gregory's house, where electronic devices were found and sent to the Arkansas State Police.

On those devices, ASP found videos and pictures of underage girls in the shower and bathroom. Holmes told 5NEWS the girls were identified and found to be between 15 and 17 years old.

"We appreciate the jury sticking with us for the past two days as they watched very private videos and images of the victims. We applaud the Alma Police Department for their rock-solid investigation with assistance from the Arkansas State Police," Holmes said in the announcement.

The prosecuting attorney also said that by finding Gregory guilty on all counts, another predator was removed from the community, and justice was served for his six victims.
