Man Gets 30 Years For Sexually Exploiting Children
DENVER (AP) — A 37-year-old Colorado Springs man who took part in a child pornography ring has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney John Walsh says Kenneth Wayne Hugo was sentenced Thursday on a charge of sexual exploitation of children.
Prosecutors say emails found on a computer in Texas led to Hugo, and a search of his computer turned up thousands of photos and videos depicting children involved in sex acts.
Investigators say they found evidence that Hugo also fondled and took inappropriate photos of three girls while they slept at his house in the summer of 2012. He pleaded guilty in state court to sexually assaulting the girls and was sentenced in November to four years to life in prison.
