ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - A man accused of producing videos showing teens beating and kicking each other must serve 12 years in prison on an unrelated charge.

A judge today sentenced 20-year-old Michael G. Jackson, who was arrested in 2006 in connection with the Arlington videos.

Jackson in September pleaded guilty to an unrelated robbery charge.

As part of a plea agreement, Jackson will not face charges involving the videos.

State District Judge George Gallagher sentenced him to prison after watching a clip of the violent fight videos, called "Agg Townz Fights."

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports prosecutors had sought the maximum 20-year term for Jackson.

The videos, which refer to a nickname for Arlington, were sold on the Internet for $15 to $20.

Police don't know how many copies were sold.
