A former Democratic Party operative in Virginia has been arrested by federal authorities and charged with distributing child pornography following an undercover FBI investigation, according to court records filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Randon “Randy” Alexander Sprinkle, 30, was taken into custody after an investigation conducted by the FBI’s Manassas, Virginia, field office. Sprinkle previously held several prominent roles within Democratic political circles in the state.

According to a nine-page criminal affidavit filed Friday, Sprinkle was an active user of the social networking application Jack’d, which markets itself as “the premier social app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people” and reports having more than 15 million members.

Court documents state that Sprinkle used the app under the name “Randy.”

The affidavit says Sprinkle initiated contact with an undercover FBI agent, identified in the filing as “OCE,” who was operating in an online undercover capacity.

The initial conversation occurred on Jack’d before moving to the encrypted messaging platform Telegram.

The affidavit includes the following exchange initiated by Sprinkle on Jack’d:

Randy: “Hey how’s it going”
OCE: “What’s up man”
Randy: “Just horny af you, telegram”
OCE: “Let’s go Randy, what’s your Tele”
Randy: “hmudmv9, got a face pic btw”

After the conversation moved to Telegram, federal investigators say Sprinkle expressed sexual interest in minors and transmitted illegal material to the undercover agent.

Based on that exchange, investigators obtained a federal search warrant as part of the investigation.

According to the criminal complaint, FBI agents executed the search warrant on October 16, 2025.

The affidavit states that investigators conducted a forensic examination of Sprinkle’s electronic devices and recovered archived files that federal authorities identified as child pornography.

The affiant wrote that investigators “completed the extraction” of Sprinkle’s computer and located files containing child sexual abuse material.

One of the files, according to the complaint, involved the sexual abuse of an infant by an adult male.

Federal authorities cited the recovered material as meeting the statutory definition of child pornography under federal law.

Following the arrest, several Virginia Democratic officials who had professional or political ties to Sprinkle issued public statements responding to the charges.

Richmond City Council Vice President Katherine Jordan, who employed Sprinkle as campaign treasurer during the 2024 election cycle, released a statement condemning the allegations.

“What has been alleged is disgusting and abhorrent,” Jordan said.

“I’m shocked and sickened.”

First District Richmond City Council member Andrew Breton, who also previously employed Sprinkle for campaign finance services, issued a separate statement after the charges were made public.

“The allegations are shocking and disturbing,” Breton said.

“I am grateful that law enforcement is involved, and that justice is taking its course.”

Representative Jennifer McClellan, a Democrat representing Virginia’s Fourth Congressional District, was also connected to Sprinkle through past public appearances.

According to reports, Sprinkle appeared alongside McClellan in several photographs posted to social media.

A spokesperson for McClellan addressed the matter following the arrest.

“Congresswoman McClellan is shocked by these appalling accusations which should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” the spokesperson said.

Court records show Sprinkle is currently being held at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia.

He faces federal charges related to the distribution of child pornography. If convicted, the charges carry significant prison penalties under federal law.

Federal authorities have not indicated whether additional charges may be filed or whether the investigation could expand beyond Sprinkle.

The case will proceed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The arrest has drawn attention due to Sprinkle’s past involvement in Democratic Party operations at both the state and local levels, as well as his work on multiple political campaigns.

Law enforcement officials emphasized that the charges stem from an undercover investigation and forensic evidence obtained through a court-authorized search.

No trial date has yet been announced.
