On May 13, 2026, a jury found James Funderburg guilty of Production of Obscene Material of a Child under 17.

At trial, the State of Alabama proved that the defendant used his cell phone to record a 13 year old girl while she was coming out of the shower. The jury found that the defendant recorded this video with sexual motivations.

The case was investigated by Captain Justin Correa, Sargent Richard Gingras, and Megan Johnson with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. This case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Sydnee Corello and Courtney Day. Trial Coordinator Breighanna White, Investigator Tucker Davison assisted in trial for this case. The Office of Prosecution Services provided the use of Platano (“Platty”), a facility dog used for reducing the stress of the victim witnesses who testify at trial. Brandilyn Lascari is Platty’s certified handler.

The District Attorney’s Office would like to give a special shout out to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office’s Digital Forensic Unit. With Sargent Gingras’ expertise, law enforcement was able to secure video evidence from the defendant’s phone, which was a crucial piece of evidence in the case. But most of all, the District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the victim and the friends and family of the victim who testified at trial.
