Brad Rocklin Montgomery - Pleads Guilty to being a Scumbag

A Fallon man accused of sexual assault and unlawful use of a minor to produce pornography and lewdness with children pleaded guilty on Tuesday morning to 16 charges.

Brad Rocklin Montgomery, 54, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison when sentenced on July 28.

He pleaded guilty to 10 charges of lewdness with a child under the age of 14, five counts of unlawful use of a minor less than 14 years of age in producing pornography or as a subject of sex portrayal in performance and one charge of sexual assault on a child under the age of 14.

Of the 10 charges of lewdness with a child under the age of 14, Montgomery could be sentenced two to 10 years in prison on six of them and life in prison with a possibility of parole after 10 years on the other four charges.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Lane Mills mentioned the different sentence ranges were the result of when the crimes were committed. The sentence ranges in 1996-97 for this crime were changed by the Nevada Legislature.

On the charges of producing pornography or as a subject of sex portrayal in performance, Montgomery faces life in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years on each count, and on the sexual assault on a child under the age of 14, he faces a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 35 years.

Montgomery must also register as an ex-felon and sex offender for the rest of his life.

He told Judge Will Rogers he recently had undergone a psychoanalysis to determine how he ended up in this situation.

“I rationalized that my behavior was OK, and now I understand it was not,” Montgomery said when he was asked by Rogers for a factual basis to accept his guilty plea.

The sexual assault on a child under 14 charge was the result of Montgomery forcing a 13-year-old child to perform a sexual act on him. He told Rogers there was no violence involved, but the judge told him the age of the child is why the word forced was used in this charge.

He also pleaded guilty to sexual acts against children in producing a movie titled “Toy” where the acts were filmed.

Montgomery was arrested Jan. 8, 2008, near Deming, N.M., after being stopped for an alleged traffic violation. Authorities there discovered Churchill County had issued a warrant for his arrest in November.

He allegedly fled Churchill County when investigators started looking into possible criminal acts.

When Rogers asked if Montgomery wanted a bail amount set, he said he said planned to remain in custody.
