Williamsport, Pa. — Christopher Stout displayed a preference for underage masturbation content and bestiality when preying on young children online, according to federal prosecutors.
The 49-year-old Stout will no longer have opportunities to abuse children online after pleading guilty to producing child pornography in federal court earlier this month.
Chief Judge Matthew William Brann handed down a 30-year sentence, ordered Stout to pay $10,000 restitution, and ordered him to serve 10 years supervised release — if he lives to 80.
