On July 8th, 2023, in Altoona, Wisconsin, officers responded to a local motel after a woman discovered Discord messages between her teenage sister and a 24-year-old man discussing plans to secretly meet up at the motel. >> Do you know what time they got here today or if he has checked into his room? >> He has checked into his room. He got here at 10:45. >> Okay. >> When he got here, I was like, "You know, it's a small town. Where are you from?" And I see it's Indiana. I was like, "Is there any reason you're here?" He said, "No reason. Just taking a drive. Taking a little vacation for myself." I was like, "Oh, you should check out downtown places. You have a friend in town?" You know, maybe you want to see some things, do some fishing. >> Uh, did you see what car he came in at all? >> He's in that that reddish maroon one. >> Okay. And he didn't have anyone with him? >> Best of my knowledge, no. >> Okay. >> I can double-check the cameras. It's literally only been, you know, over an hour. >> Yeah. We're going to go try to see if we can talk to him. I appreciate you being able to come back in and do all this for us. >> That's fine. >> Thank you. >> You're very welcome. Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Did you see what room? >> Seven. >> Seven. Okay. >> Yep. >> Do you have charges? >> Um, based off of even just a glance at messages I have, it's going to be arranging to meet with an underage. >> Mhm. >> So. And depending on what else we find in the room. >> Did you say this was his vehicle? >> Yep. >> Hello? >> Hi, Anthony. I'm Officer Marshall. Can I have you step out here and talk to me? >> Yeah. >> Is there anybody else in your room? >> Yes. >> Okay. Who? Okay. She's in there? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Do you mind hanging out with him then? >> Mhm. Got you. All right. The officer will be with you. >> Okay. >> I'm Officer Marshall. I'm looking to talk to you. >> Okay. >> Can you come out and talk to me? >> Um Can you >> You're not in I just want to talk to you and make sure you're okay. >> Oh, really? You got my name? >> Okay. Is there a reason you shut the bathroom door on me? >> Um I mean >> Are you willing to open up the door so I can talk to you? You say no? Why not? I just want to talk to you about what's going on. Are you willing to come and at least crack the door open so I can hear you? >> Yeah. Remember I told >> I'll take a step back so I won't force the door open or anything, but if you can at least crack it so I can hear you. >> Okay. >> Here. >> That? >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Yeah. >> What's going on today? >> Um just hanging out, I guess. >> Okay. Do you kind of know why I'm here already? >> Um Um No. >> Okay. I got a call someone was concerned this morning about you. Your sister was concerned. >> Oh. Okay. >> What's that? >> Concerned about you meeting with the guy here. What have you guys been doing since you got here? Just hanging out? Do you guys have plans for anything you're going to do today? >> No. >> Okay. I saw some messages between you and him. They don't look appropriate for between a 16 and 24-year-old. Is there anything you want to tell me about them? You want to talk about it at all? Okay. Are you willing to come out of the bathroom? >> No. >> Do your parents know you're here? >> Um >> Okay. >> Your relationship or you were wanting to seek more than this? You know, silly. You know, in a intimate relationship, you were looking for more, you're saying? >> Yeah. >> She talking to you? >> Uh-huh. >> Yeah. Uh if you just want to hang out here by your car, I'm going to talk to Officer Kimmel. >> But can you watch me grab my shoes and stuff so that I can talk? >> Are they the ones right there? >> Yeah. The little black ones the the >> These ones? >> Yeah. >> Okay. There you go. >> I think that he's been talking to her um said that he's been talking to her for over several months. Wouldn't give me a exact one. Told me that he was of her age. Um saying that she's 17 now. >> Okay. >> So uh I kind of asked him like what his intentions were and like why if he like knows why we're here. Um but he's basically kind of give me the illusion that he wasn't trying to do anything. He's saying that he he made a comment that he was trying to be pure. So I didn't really look at your messages or anything, but >> I have to look through those a little bit more. >> But um said that he has been talking to her for several months. He's from Indiana, in fact. >> She is a young girl. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Wait. Wait. May I contact with her? Thank you. >> So, yeah. He's kind of saying he didn't really get into any, you know, intentions, what his word today. >> Yeah. >> really talking too much, but from what I got out of it, he's that's kind of what he was telling me. So. >> I can't get her to come out of the bathroom, and she won't cooperate on anything. >> talking to you or anything? >> Yeah. She'll talk to me, but >> Okay. >> I ask her any questions, and it's no. I don't know. I don't want to talk about it. I can't get her to come out of the bathroom. >> Yeah. He definitely has kind of like a guilty kind of look, it looks like. Like kind of like he was like what he's doing is obviously not right. >> I If you're okay just kind of hang out here, I'm going to go try and get a hold of mom. >> Mhm. >> And first just work on getting her out of here, and then I'm going to call my sergeant and look through the messages a little bit more and see if we're going to have charges or not. >> Yeah. Sounds good. >> I'm not very versed in these juvenile cases. >> Okay. No, that's fine. >> I'm a new one. Hi. This is Officer Marshall with Altoona Police Department. Everyone is safe. Everyone's okay. I'm here with your daughter at Even Axe Hotel. If you could please give me a call back. Hi. Did you have a chance to look through the messages I sent to you? Okay. What do I need in terms of statute for a 24-year-old arranging to meet with a 17-year-old for sex? Um sister woke up, found her. I was told she's 16. The guy saying she's 17. Um found out her 16-year-old sister had left, found some concerning messages between her sister and this male from Indiana. And they're arranging to get a hotel at Even Axe. There's a lot of really sexual messages between them. One of the messages I read even said like he was scared to meet her cuz it was going to be like a Chris Hansen to catch a predator thing. And so, we got to the Even ox, talked to Kelly. Everything checked out, knocked on the door, he answered it. Uh he's admitted to meeting with her age, but saying like none of this is supposed to be sexual, like we're just going to hang out. Um she's barricaded herself in the bathroom, not being cooperative. She'll talk to me, but that's about it. She won't come out, won't open the door all the way. Not helping any of the situation. Uh Um No, he admitted 20. So, he's explaining to me meeting knowing her age, but they were just going to hang out. I haven't even had a chance to look through all the messages. I was trying to track her down, and then this just kind of all popped in my mind. Actually be here. Okay, thank you. All right, Anthony, I need you to take a step forward. >> Okay. >> Need you to turn around, put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest. >> Yep. Appreciate you being decent about it. When I met I just want my statement. >> Anthony, do you have anything on you that you shouldn't? >> No. >> Anything that's going to stick me, poke me, hurt me when I search you? >> No. >> Okay. That side, please. Anthony, I've got your phone and your or your wallet and your keys, and I am seizing your phone. >> Okay. Did you lock the or did you lock the phone? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> This stuff's going to come with you. >> I'm just going to reach over you. >> Go ahead. >> Just turn your body over. >> All right. You stick your legs in there, quick. >> My leg. Is there a code on your phone before you shut the door? >> What's that? >> Is there a passcode on your phone? >> Uh, I think so. >> Are you willing to tell me what the passcode is? >> No. >> Okay, that's fine. All right. >> He did admit to uh kissing her and being sexual. Did not admit to I mean any type >> intercourse. >> Asked if he um if he had done anything else sexually with her and he told me he was not going to say [ __ ] so. >> Okay. >> He did not want to tell me, so. >> Aw. >> He did admit to kissing, so I can um I'll probably just pull a report, a sexual assault report. I can give you the case number and I can send it to you and then I can just type my conversation with him. >> Yes, please. >> Um do you need anything else from her? >> Uh yeah. So I still have a juvenile barricaded in the bathroom. Haven't gotten a hold of parent yet. >> Yeah. >> Um I can either do the arrest card for you and send you with that to with him to the jail or if you want to take 16-year-old in the bathroom and I can take him to the jail. So either way. >> Whichever way. >> If you just want to take him, that's fine. I can try to deal with her. >> Okay. I can Yeah, we can take him. I don't need Put him in the back of my squad car and I'll take him. >> Okay, yeah. Some marshal. We found your sister, she's safe. Um I need one of your parents to get a hold of me though. I left a voicemail with her and she didn't respond, but um I need either your mom or your dad to call me. Whichever way you can get her to contact me the quickest. But your sister's safe, she's okay. Thank you. Bye. >> It's off to Marshall, the first one you talked to. I know you don't want to come out. I just want to let you know you're not in any trouble. I'm not here to yell at you, not here to punish you, absolutely nothing like that. >> [snorts] >> All I want to do is one, get you to come out of the bathroom and two, maybe talk with me. I can hear you respond me, but I can't make out what you're saying. >> Hello. Hi. >> You want to kind of talk to me about what was going on? Okay. So, just kind of getting the story of the day. What was the plan? How long ago did you guys plan this? What's going on? >> Just like >> How do you know Tony? >> I don't. >> Okay. >> No. >> Okay. Did you guys meet like on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok? Whatever cool social media there is now. I'm a little bit out of touch with all that. >> No. >> No. Okay. Um But obviously you guys made plans to come to the hotel, hang out for the day. Was there anything that happened while you guys were hanging out? No. What time did you get here? I know your sister said she woke around 10:50 and you were gone. >> Probably then. It's I don't know. >> Okay. And when you guys got here, did you guys talk about what you're going to do today? Did you guys have any plans to go somewhere? Okay. >> [snorts] >> Did you guys watch TV or anything? What did you guys do when you got here then? >> I don't know. We were just talking. >> Okay. I don't know. Is the reason you locked yourself in the bathroom and don't want to come out cuz you have clothes on? >> Yes. >> Okay. I get that. I would have grabbed them for you if I had known. I don't mean you to get stranded in the bathroom like that, you know. >> Yeah. >> It's not fun for anyone. So, you know, I'm going to ask you, why were your clothes off? You know? Okay. Did Anthony ask you to take them off? No. Okay. You're [snorts] not in any trouble, no matter what here. All right, you're 16, he's 26. That type of behavior from him is inappropriate. At all. I mean, it's not your fault. You're not in trouble. But, I want to be able to help you the best and help other people the best, but to do that, I need you to kind of tell me the truth of what's going on. Cuz he did tell us kind of what happened. I do know that you guys kissed. And I'm just kind of looking for you to tell me the rest of the information. >> I'm good. >> I'm good. Uh your mom is on the way. Cuz you're Okay. Cuz you're juvenile that um I can't just release you out into the world. Um so, your mom's on the way. I'm going to talk to her kind of what's going on. And then are you cool just hanging out here for a minute or two? >> Yeah, sure. >> Okay. Do you want me to shut the door or leave it open? >> Uh, you can shut it. >> Okay. >> A short time later, the teen's mother arrived at the motel where officers explained what they had learned before releasing her daughter into her care. >> Hi. >> Yes. >> Officer Marshall. >> Yes, thank you. >> Yeah. Is this >> my daughter. >> Yeah? Yeah. >> Hi. >> Hi. Nice to meet you. Thanks so much for calling. >> Yeah, thank you so much. >> I was as soon as I got the call, my heart was in my stomach wanting to hope we could hope she would be here so we could >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Um Did you kind of fill your mom in on >> Yeah, a little bit. >> Okay. >> Um, what's the update on the guy though? >> He's been taken into custody. >> Okay, perfect. And she is in the bathroom still? >> No, she she came out of the bathroom. She's been talking to me. She doesn't want to talk about anything that happened or what's going on, but she's been talking to me about other things like school and all that. >> Okay. >> Um, I told her I would come out and talk to you guys and she asked that I shut the door so >> Yeah, got >> she probably don't have to listen to it all again. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um, but kind of the summary of what's going on is she had been talking to a 26-year-old online and I got a copy of some of those messages and then they're very explicit in nature and they planned to meet today to have relations. Uh found out and gave us a call and when we arrived here, um we don't believe anything more than a kiss happened. But she doesn't want to tell us right now, so I'm not going to push her too hard today. He's been taken into custody for several felony charges. >> Felony charges related to this work? >> Yes. Yes. He drove all the way from Indiana today. >> Are there any more texts that you would need to see to for evidence or anything else? >> Anything you have that you are able to send me, send it. If it's not important, I'll filter it out. >> Yeah. >> Don't stop yourself from filtering it out. We'll look at it and be like, is it needed or not. The more the better. >> Okay, cool. >> Cuz in the reality today, I know your sister's not happy with us, but >> Yeah. >> this is for her better, and I think in the long run she'll understand, and she'll be happy that you called. She said she's not mad. >> Okay. >> But >> Fingers crossed, but >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Um I know you probably have a lot of questions. >> I don't even know where to begin, but it's mostly just I just want to make sure we're keeping her >> Did you get >> Uh I >> safe. >> I do have her cell phone. I've seized it. I assume it's probably something you bought and paid for. Okay. I I'm seizing it uh just for evidence for this investigation. >> Yeah. I think you should be able to see the Discord messages on there, so the rest of the chats will probably be right now. >> Do you know her password? >> Um no. >> Okay. She didn't want to give it to me, that's Uh here's my contact card. He already has my phone number. >> Sorry, she has logged in on our home computer though, so all the chats are on there. >> Okay. >> Yeah, you can send me whatever you feel is helpful. I mean the more we get the better. Um any questions you have throughout this process that kind of come up, give me a call. I'm here till 5:00 today, and I will be back in tomorrow. Um we will be in more contact with you and kind of going forward with this investigation. I will have our investigator uh Baumgarten and our Sergeant Peterson helping me on this, and we'll be working this all as a team, and we'll be in contact kind of letting you guys know what process is what's going on. And um I do have some papers for you, but I'll let you go ahead and talk to her first. >> Um so we we don't think anything more than a kiss or anything too serious happened, but so you don't think that we need to have her checked out or anything? >> I can't say for sure. That's only what um the other party even told us happened. She won't tell us what happened. >> Were they clothed when you got here? >> not. So, if you feel that you want medical attention, you want an exam, absolutely. I'm not going to tell you yes or no. I can't. That's your decision, your right as parent. Um but she was not clothed when we got here. Uh they checked in about 10:50. What time did you call us? >> Um 11:00 something. Yeah. >> Okay. So, I think you called around 11:30. >> Yeah. >> They had been here for like 30 40 minutes before we got here. >> If we just if we were to do a medical thing, if we were to just like go to the hospital, can they just do that there? >> Yep. They absolutely can. Um and I mean there is time limits on it, but it's not like you have to go right this second versus in an hour when things get when things are a little bit more processed emotionally. I believe it's 72 hours before there would be any loss of evidence type. >> Is anything else you would recommend for me in this situation as far as like um I mean that was my first thought is is is she okay? >> Yep. >> Um >> Okay. Uh >> And the doctor's with the medical visit is I guess we'll Yeah. I wonder if anything happened. >> Yeah. And I mean, I'm not going to tell you don't do it or do it, but >> Okay. >> it's up to you and up to her. >> Okay. >> Um Like I said, she's after she came out of the bathroom, we didn't know initially she wasn't coming out cuz she wasn't dressed. But after she did come out, she's been talking to me and she doesn't want to discuss much of the events, but she knows that everybody was concerned concerned about her and that we weren't here to yell at her. She's not here to yell at her. Um >> Yeah. >> So >> Yeah. >> Today the main thing is just she's safe. She's okay. >> Yeah. >> And let you guys take her home and >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> be a family. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. >> Uh I'll walk you over to the room. Um I have some paperwork I'm going to give you. She probably isn't interested in it right now. She doesn't see herself as a victim of crime, so I'll give you the paperwork and Hang on. You guys are good to go. I just got to give your mom a piece of paper, but otherwise there's nothing else. Feel free to give me a call if you need anything or text. Anything like that. >> Okay. >> All right. >> The following day investigators met with Anthony at the county jail to question him about what had happened at the motel. >> Anthony? >> Yeah. >> How's it going? Good afternoon. You want to come to the police station? Yeah. This is Officer Marshall. >> May I remain silent today? >> Step over here and have a chat. Does it matter which room we go in? >> No. >> I'll go to I'll go to the one that's open. >> The light switch is around the outside. >> All right. Yeah, go ahead and have a have a seat. I got my They don't have a recorder in here, so I'm just going to my camera just to document. So, that's set up there. Uh So, Detective Jeff Anders from the Yolo County Sheriff's Department. I'm just going to come I'm going to come and talk to you and just kind of give you an opportunity to share your side of the story and what's going on. Is this your first time in jail? >> Yes. >> Never been arrested before? So, like I like to talk to you about why you're here, see if you have any questions that I can answer for you, and see if we can just understand what's going on. Because you are in custody, you're in jail, I have to read you your Miranda rights. I advise you of that, and then I'll So, let me go through that, and then you can decide um how we how we proceed from there, okay? >> Okay. >> All right. So, before you answer any questions or make any statements, you must understand you have the following rights. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer any questions or make any statements if you do not wish to do so. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer before we ask you any questions. You have the right to have your lawyer present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer and you want one, the court will appoint one for you before we ask you any questions. If you want to start I'm sorry, if you want to answer any questions without a lawyer present, you may do so. You have the right to stop answering questions at any time. Do you understand each of the rights I've explained to you? >> Yes. >> Having these rights in mind, do you wish to talk to me now? >> Didn't tell me to sign up, too. >> And you And that's that's perfectly fine. You have that right. We can we can talk. If you want to answer some questions, that's totally up to you. If there's anything that you don't want to talk about, you don't have to. I'm not going to I'm not going to twist your arm and force you to do anything. Um So before we start, I'll just have you sign there that you just and that's just acknowledging that you understand what I have read to you. Well, I guess let's start with giving you the story. What Why are you here? >> Well, I would like to ask that for what my charges would be. >> Okay, so let me and let me clarify a couple of things for you because so right now um there are a couple of modifications to what you I don't know if you saw what what was listed as the charges. >> I have not been all I All I heard was that the police was from her in the car in the back while we were there. >> And I think you have the ability from your cell to call like a number and hear what the charges are. Have you done that? Okay. >> not been told a number to call. >> Okay. Okay. So what do you So at this time what the charges are currently listed as is sexual sexual assault of a child that is 16 or over and child enticement. Uh originally there were a couple of the the the sexual assault of a child charge was entered with the wrong statute number which that statute number was for a child that's under 16, but with that was that's been corrected to have the right statute number and then so that it reflects um the sexual assault of a child that is 16 or over and then the child enticement um charge is just on there. So that's what's there for right now. >> Okay, and would that be altered before tomorrow? >> No, that one that one won't that that one >> No, I mean either of those would I'm assuming I don't know. >> I don't I mean those two charges for sure will are what will be listed by the time you go to court. >> Okay. >> Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So obviously you got arrested you know in what town? Inglewood. Right? I mean that that part is we already know that cuz this officer was there with you in Inglewood town and arrested you and there was a female in the room. Who was that female? >> I don't know. Do you know that? >> What is your understanding of who she is? Like sometimes people don't always aren't always forthcoming with their true identity. So that's what I'm wondering is who you thought she was. Did you Did you Do you know her name? >> I'm choosing to avoid this question. >> Okay. How old is she? >> I would choose to avoid this question. >> So you don't know how old she actually is? >> not state that. I'm going to choose to avoid that question. >> So I'm rephrasing this. How old do you believe she was? >> I'm going to refuse that question. >> Okay, well okay, let's let's start at the beginning. How did you meet? How did you first become acquainted >> with either her cam or the other cam I said that it was through an online site that I do not know the name of. >> You don't know the the name of site that you >> the domain name. >> What was the name of the Like what's the [snorts] name of the service? Like a general generic name of the of the site? >> chat in the name. That's all I can remember. >> When did you first start talking to her? >> I do not remember the exact date. All I said was a few months ago. >> A few [clears throat] months ago. Okay. It was it online? Did you meet first meet this person online or in person? >> it would be if it was through a site I would assume online in some manner. >> Okay. So you talked for a couple of months. So at some point you had to go back to this service to reconnect and continue conversing and talking with her. So how did you know where to go back to? You Like I'm trying to figure out the name what you knew the name of the service as. Do you understand what I'm saying? >> I understand exactly what you're saying, but that's also technically been answered to the Sam Kimble, I think. >> Okay. Well, can you tell me? >> I refuse not to say anything in case it contradicts at all, which I doubt it should, but I've been sleeping the entire time I've been in here, so I've been a little, you know, tired. >> Okay. So your conversations with her, did you were they through your phone or a computer or something else? >> I mean I'll say >> Oh, sorry. My bad. >> Uh did I refuse to answer that question? >> Do you Do you have a computer at home that you use? >> I use a computer for gaming at home, yes. >> Okay. Did you use that to talk to this girl? >> I refuse [clears throat] to answer that question. >> Okay. well so let me ask you. What do you What do you wanting to answer? What do you want to tell me? What do you want to know? This is your opportunity to explain why you're here. >> wanted to know was my charges currently because they were not listed to me except when I asked her directly and then I've been in here for 24 hours without knowing anything. >> Okay. >> Not even how to see my own charges. And I'm just a little annoyed with the lack of information I've been given at all relating to my situation while I've been in a small room. >> Okay. >> And that is all that I wanted to know exactly. And then if my court case is still at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. >> Mhm. >> That's going to be what I've been told. >> Yeah, that'll be dependent on the court's schedule and the court's calendar as far as how how many people they have tomorrow. Exactly what time and when you'll you'll be seen. >> Yeah, at least at some point tomorrow. >> It could be tomorrow or the following day. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I'm not going to promise you that it's tomorrow cuz it may not be tomorrow. It could be the following day but depending on the court's calendar. >> And how is well I be made aware of that tomorrow at some point by someone here I'm assuming? >> That I don't know. I mean I'm not sure what their procedure is to notify you of that. So. >> Okay. >> How many times have you met this girl in person? >> Refuse to answer. I know I'm not being very cooperative but >> So you refuse you're you refuse to answer because the answer is incriminating, is that >> I'm not assuming anything I say can be incriminating in any sort of light, no matter how anyone puts it, because it can be spun in any which way. If I said I met her 500 times, I'm sure that's incriminating. If I said I met her once, I'm sure that's incriminating. So, no matter what the answer is, it is going to be incriminating in some light, no matter what, no matter what the question. >> [snorts] >> How many girls have you met, or people, not even girls, I don't have you met initially online and then went to meet in person for the purpose of having sexual contact? >> Refuse to answer. >> Have you met people online that you met in person that were underage? >> Refuse to answer. You asked if I've met people online and then gone to meet them. Yes, I have buddies that I found out with and gone out to get a drink. And obviously they were, you know, all were 21 since I went out for a drink. >> So, this girl is underage, and you found her in a hotel room with her, and she's naked. But I'm curious about your preference as far as her age. Was that part of the attraction is because she was underage? Are you sexually attracted to younger people? Is that Is that your preference? >> Refuse to answer unless it's off the record. >> Well, there's nothing off the record. We're We're recording. >> You Are you dating anyone? >> You Refuse to answer. >> Um what other services have you used to communicate and chat with people? >> answer. >> So, basically, you just don't want to answer anything. >> You may say that, but everything that you're asking in some regard it can help you or help me and >> Well, then what information should we know? Anthony, what information should we know? >> That is up to you to find out. That is not up to me to give to you. >> Okay. >> Because in the light of my own benefit, I feel I should not tell you. >> Okay. >> And I'm not twisting your arm behind anything. I want to give you an opportunity if there's anything that you think I need to know. >> I will ask this one question. If you were on this side of the table, would you be answering these questions yourself? >> I wouldn't be on that side of the table. >> Hypothetically, very hypothetically, would you be answering the questions that you were asking? >> It would depend on the circumstances of what I had done. That's totally up for you to decide. >> I know and that is why I am deciding myself that I do not wish to answer these questions you're asking and I feel in the same shoes you would not be answering them as well because you know what they can imply. >> Is anything else before we go that you want me to know or that I should know about? >> That is up to you what questions you had prepared. >> All right. Well, um >> Sorry if I've not been very cooperative. >> That's basically that's totally up to you and I'm that's totally your choice. Um so, we will we're going to stop this interview and you can return to your cell. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Anthony was initially charged with felony child enticement. The case was later amended to include five additional felony counts of possession of child pornography. Those additional charges came after investigators conducted a forensic examination of Anthony's phone. The incident report documents multiple illegal images and videos involving children that detectives said were stored on the device. On March 20th, 2024, Anthony pleaded guilty to child enticement and one count of possession of child pornography, while the remaining four possession charges were dismissed but read in as part of the case. The judge sentenced Anthony to 3 years in state prison, followed by 5 years of extended supervision, with both sentences ordered to run concurrently. He was also prohibited from contacting the victim, restricted from having contact with anyone under 18, and prohibited from accessing the internet without approval from his supervising agent. Anthony was initially ordered to register as a sex offender for 15 years, but the court later amended that requirement to lifetime registration.
