USED “DARK WEB” TO EXPLOIT MINORS
According to a U.S. Justice Department press release issued in early November, AP (36) of Lawton, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 21 years and 10 months for “advertising and distributing child sexual abuse material.”
AP allegedly used the “dark web” to sell pictures of kids being sexually abused. He is also said to have “engaged in sexually explicit communications” with individuals he thought were minors and encouraged the latter to “create sexually explicit images of themselves.”
When apprehended, AP is said to have had “thousands” of illegal images and videos.
In addition to the lengthy prison sentence, AP was ordered to pay a “special assessment” of $11,200 and $57,000 in restitution.
Can’t get any more explicit than that.
