He pressured victims daily for explicit images, tried to arrange sexual meetings, and admitted to eight charges spanning nearly a year. The judge called his actions “seriously disturbing and depraved,” while the defense acknowledged his insight into his behavior. After prison, he’ll face six years of strict supervision, a 20-year ban on devices and contact with minors, and indefinite registration as a sex offender. Police praised the victims’ courage and reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
