A Gloucester couple today received lengthy federal prison sentences for convictions on child pornography production charges, US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan said.

Kendra D’Andrea, 33, was sentenced to 27 years in prison and Willie Jordan, 35, was sentenced to 30 years, for enticing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct, Sullivan said in a statement.

The couple raped and photographed D’Andrea’s 8-year-old daughter in 2004, Sullivan said. An anonymous caller tipped the state child protection agency about the couple’s photos on a website, Sullivan said.

Gloucester police arrested D’Andrea at her home and police apprehended Jordan in Michigan and brought him back to Massachusetts. Both D’Andrea and Jordan must register as sex offenders when they are released from prison, Sullivan said.

The US Secret Service, Essex County District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett, and Gloucester Police conducted the investigation.

  1. DEATH PENALTY-THEY SHOULD BE SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD,2 TAP'S EACH AND BURIED IN UNMARKED GRAVES,AND THERE NAMES SHOULD BE BANISHED FROM ALL RECORDS AFTER EXCUTION,AS SO THEY SIMPLY NEVER EXISTED. I WILL PRAY TO THE METAL GOD'S THAT THEY ARE BOTH KILLED IN PRISON.

  1. An "anonymous caller" might also be investigated.

  1. What they need is to be taken out and shot. This was her daughter for God's sake! I have read and heard some sick sick things, but this has to be the most horrific story ever! That poor child will NEVER be the same.

  1. these people are very sick to do something like this to a innocent child they deserve what they get 100 times more

  1. That child will never be the same. It's bad enough something this horrific happened to her, but at the hands of her own mother -- makes me want to vomit.

  1. I agree with comment #2 - they deserve to be tortured then killed! disgusting...

  1. how do you let someone abuse your child? or any child.. but YOUR child? as the mother, you should know better. and really~ if a kid cant trust their own parents to keep them safe~ who will?

    Posted by Jessica November 7, 08 08:42 AM
  1. i think this is sick who could do that to their own child you are so rude and its not right!

  1. No amount of punishment to the parents can bring back what is lost forever to that child. All evil in the world comes from selfishness. People should have to be examined mentally and physically and then be licensed to have and raise children.

  1. I was thinking the same thing as Frank. As a new mother, the love I have for my daughter amazes me. I could never imagine breaking that maternal bond and the trust a child has in her mother and doing something so disgusting. They should be burned alive!

  1. People are dropping babys off In front of hospitals and fire stations,, starting children on ridlin so they dont have to raise them,,in many countries including america parents pimp their children,,the goverment is in part responsible,,It is taking your children for disiplining them,,,responsible parents have their hands tied,, This horror is nothing new,,dont worry, it wont be long before you wont be able to raise your voice to a child,,every thing is backwards,time the american people rise up and demand the government mind their own business, yes,seek justice for the pimps, predators, and child molesters, but atleast allow parents to raise their children,,

  1. that poor child! wat the hell did that kid do to deserve that? absolutly nothing thats wat! if they were that desperate they should have done each other not the child. thats just plain sick and i hope they get beaten in jail and rot there for the rest of their lives! uggghhh some people just discust me

  1. Anyone that abuses a child should be drawn and quartered. These people make me sick.

  1. they should get life - they took hers. this is worse than if they were strangers; they were her guardians and they should have protected her. maybe in jail they'll find out some modicum of what they put her through, but i doubt it would even scratch the surface.

  1. they need to put them into dungeon with lots of HUNGRY WILD RATS

  1. 27 & 30 years is not enough ....why do they get off so easy ...when her daughter gets sentenced for life....she will relive this for the rest of her life...years of therapy couldnt give her the help she will truly need. Her life is no longer her own ...but belongs to the ghosts that will haunt her. Hopefully when she gets older someone will explain to her it is not her fault and she will learn the serenity prayer it saves a sick soul.

  1. Yahoo about time these scum bags got what they deserve. Lets hope they get what they deserve in jail.

  1. They should be shot but not from behind. shot right in the face so they can see what they are getting. doing that to a child is horrible, but to your own blood is disgusting.

  1. Tie 'em to a cactus in the desert, naked....let 'em burn......slowly.

  1. Let's see, 17 girls get knocked up on purpose, a gloucester mom gets jail time for serving booze to minors including her 12 year old daughter and these sick freaks are busted for kiddie porn! So what's next?

  1. Lets all just prey this littlegirl and all others who have endured this disgusting treatment can endure and handle the horrible thoughts that run through her mind and body can amend their selfs with the hope and love from god and time . amen.
