Rottacher (23) sentenced to probation for child pornography and coercion. He asked underage girls between the ages of eleven and 16 on the Internet to send him nude photos and perform intimate acts on themselves.
If the girls did not comply with his demands, he is said to have put them under massive threats. A 13-year-old at the time of the crime was called as a witness. Her fear of the defendant was so great that she was only able to testify after he had left the room.
