Zackary Sanders, 27, has been jailed for 18 years for child porn offenses
Sanders directed minors to engage in sexually explicit acts where they harmed themselves and to film themselves doing it – and send the videos to him
Prosecutors said Sanders 'possessed videos and images of underage children being 'subjected to sadistic acts'
His father is Jay Sanders, a doctor who is credited with popularizing telemedicine in the 1990s when he advised the Clinton administration
The judge told him: 'What you did was wrong' but then went on to praise Sanders and said that he expected he would bounce back after he completed his jail term
Judge TS Ellis said: 'He is a pretty amazing, inventive, energetic young man. Enterprising would be the best word I could use'
Sanders's father is Jay Sanders, 84, a Harvard-educated doctor who is credited with popularizing telemedicine in the 1990s when he advised the Clinton administration.
The family owned a $3.4 million, seven bedroom home n McLean, Virginia, but sold it in May last year, five months before their son was convicted at trial.
Sanders directed five of the minors to engage in sexually explicit where they harmed themselves and to film themselves doing it – and send the videos to him.
Prosecutors said that Sanders possessed videos and images of underage children being 'subjected to sadistic acts'.
