A former top Democrat Party official in Virginia has been charged federally with the distribution of child pornography, according to newly unsealed court documents filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Randon Alexander Sprinkle, a former finance chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party and former treasurer for the Metro Richmond Area Young Democrats, is accused in a criminal complaint of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including videos involving infants and very young children.
The criminal complaint, obtained by National Review, was filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and sworn out by an FBI special agent assigned to the Richmond Field Office’s Child Exploitation Task Force.
According to the filing, FBI Richmond executed a federal search warrant on October 16, 2025, at Sprinkle’s residence in Richmond, Virginia. Federal agents seized multiple electronic devices, including an iPhone and laptop computers.
The affiant states that, following forensic extraction and review, investigators identified multiple archived files constituting child pornography, including videos and images involving minors.
The complaint further alleges that at least one video recovered depicts sexual abuse of an infant, a detail explicitly cited in the court record to establish probable cause.
The case stems from an FBI undercover operation conducted in May 2025, in which a task force officer operating online allegedly engaged with a user later identified as Sprinkle on a dating application and subsequently on Telegram.
Court documents allege that the account linked to Sprinkle shared explicit child sexual abuse material and expressed interest in the exploitation of minors.
The complaint states that investigators later linked Sprinkle’s online identities to his personal devices, phone number, email address, and IP address, tying the communications directly to him.
