A former Prince George's County public school bus driver pleaded to two counts of producing child pornography.

Federal prosecutors said Scott A. Smallwood, 29, used his cell phone to videotape himself molesting a 7-year-old boy whom he befriended on his bus route.

Smallwood faces between 15 and 30 years in prison at his sentencing, scheduled for June 5.

The probe began in 2010 after a customer at the 7-Eleven store in Clinton found a memory card that contained child porn. Smallwood admitted that he had the boy over for "sleepovers" where he offered candy in exchange for inappropriate sexual contact.
