Possess Material Depicting Sexual Performance by Child (21 counts)
Defendant pled no contest to all counts and was sentenced to 4 years Department of Corrections + 5 years sex offender probation. Defendant's motion for supersedeas bond was granted by Judge Debra Nelson. Defendant was released on $2500 bond pending his appeal. He was ordered to be monitored by GPS (at no cost to him) while his case is on appeal. He is to have no contact with children pending his appeal.
It seems to CourtWatch that a defendant who pled no contest in a plea agreement (where he agreed to 4 years DOC) should be in prison while his appeal progresses, not living with his mother in Longwood, as was ordered by the Court.
