In December of 2025, The Gateway Pundit reported that Randon Alexander Sprinkle, 31, a former top Democrat Party official in Virginia, was charged federally with the distribution of child pornography.
Sprinkle, a former finance chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party and former treasurer for the Metro Richmond Area Young Democrats, was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
According to court documents used a dating app to contact another user who purportedly was the father of a nine-year-old son, but in actuality was an undercover agent with the FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
Sprinkle then immediately invited the user to communicate via the Telegram app and, after alluding to a sexual interest in minors, sent a video depicting two adults sexually abusing a minor.
Sprinkle followed up by expressing the desire to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet the other user and sexually abuse his purported nine-year-old son.
On Oct. 16, 2025, FBI agents searched Sprinkle’s residence in Richmond and seized two laptop computers and a cellphone. Sprinkle’s cellphone contained 43 CSAM files and one of the laptops contained two additional files.
The files included depictions of the abuse of toddler-aged children.
Theophani K. Stamos, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and Ian Kaufmann, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Roderick C. Young.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ellen Hubbard Theisen and Janet Jin Ah Lee prosecuted the case.
Related court documents and information are located on the website of the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or on PACER by searching for Case No. 3:26-cr-2.
Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch, prior to his arrest, “Sprinkle worked on the campaigns of several Richmond council members and on the campaign of state Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-Fairfax. He also worked as a regional political director for Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan’s 2020 campaign for governor.”
