He admitted to the police that he communicated with at least 50 underage children and received sexual images from many of them.
A 29-year-old California man was sentenced to 55 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release after he convinced children to send him sexually explicit images over social media.
"Today's sentence is warranted due to the seriousness of the defendant's conduct, the large number of minor victims, and the impact that the defendant's conduct has had – and will continue to have – on the dozens of children victimized by the defendant," said Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert for the Eastern District of California.
After learning of his activities, investigators were able to search Blanco's residence and digital devices. They learned that the man had persuaded and coerced numerous children to produce sexually explicit material.
