Other videos show him urinating on children, reports revealed. His victims’ ages were as young as ten-months-old.
Overall the investigators found at least 21 videos and images depicting sexual exploitation of a child, federal court documents show.
Although some sexual offenders film their crimes as personal souvenirs, Masters made it a point to share his collection of private videos to other sexual offenders.
During a plea hearing, he admitted to his crimes. He was sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexual exploitation of a child. He was also ordered to pay more than 76 thousand dollars in restitution.

And apparently, this vile behavior runs in the family. Masters’s brother Timothy was last fall sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for assaulting a ten-year-old girl.
“Good night last night,'” said the subject line in Timothy’s email to his younger brother, which included a pornographic image taken of the girl while she slept.
The brothers often bragged to each other their conquests, and regularly discussed sexual abuse of children with carefree nonchalance.
