CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A Lorain County man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for pretending to own a modeling agency and grooming children into sending him sexually explicit images through Snapchat.

Joshua R. Glover, 36, of Elyria, Ohio, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster after he pleaded guilty in July to receipt and distribution of visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and to possession of child pornography, which is also known as child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

According to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, Glover was also ordered to serve 10 years of supervised release after imprisonment and to pay $2,000 in assessments toward a monetary reserve for victims of CSAM.
