Evans posted advertisements on Craigslist, which he used to coerce three minors to engage in sexually explicit acts in order to produce the pornography.
As a part of his plea agreement, Evans also admitted that he solicited at least three other minors, including a 14-year-old victim in Montgomery County, for sexual acts.
In addition to his prison sentence, Evans will be on lifetime supervised release, and will be required to register as a sex offender wherever he lives, works, or goes to school.
