A man who previously owned a tech solutions firm in Fresno has received a 21-year federal prison sentence for secretly recording a minor in his residence using hidden cameras.
Todd Mumma, 61, faced a federal jury in March and was found guilty of both actual and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor.
An investigation by the Central Valley Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which involves Homeland Security Investigations and the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, has led to the charges.

Mumma was taken into custody on May 8, 2020, at his residence in the Copper River Country Club neighborhood of northwest Fresno. Authorities discovered a variety of concealed digital video cameras and electronic storage equipment.
Court documents and trial evidence reveal that Mumma utilized concealed recording devices to produce sexually explicit images of a minor.
He modified the recordings on a computer and subsequently moved the most explicit images to a cellphone, where they were kept in a password-protected app and accessed multiple times.
Mumma will serve a prison sentence followed by 10 years of supervised release. U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert stated that there will be limitations placed on his access to minors, computers, and the internet.
A mother is set to register as a sex offender and will be required to pay a forfeiture judgment of $160,000. The court has mandated that he pay $71,200 in restitution to a victim, along with $55,100 in special assessments.
Mumma is still set to face a civil trial in a lawsuit brought by the victim. The case is currently paused until the criminal trial concludes.
The victim is seeking financial compensation for the emotional harm he suffered.
