He also pleaded guilty to one count of possession of narcotic drugs, a class 4 felony.

Attorney General Kris Mayes commented on the sentencing: “Exploiting children is abhorrent and will not be tolerated in Arizona,” said Attorney General Mayes. “My office will continue to prosecute child predators and protect Arizona’s kids.”
