A North Dakota man has been sentenced to five years in prison on a child pornography charge in a case that began when parents in Ohio reported sexually explicit text messages sent to their daughter.
The U.S. attorney's office says 39-year-old Roy Ressler of Mandan was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court. Ressler pleaded guilty in April to receiving materials involving the sexual exploitation of minors.
Authorities say the parents of a girl in University Heights, Ohio, reported in September 2007 that their daughter received the messages on her cell phone. Investigators set up a sting in which Ressler believed he was texting the girl and tried to persuade her to run away to Fargo to meet him.
Authorities say a search of Ressler's home and computer found sexually explicit pictures.
