Former ‘American Ninja Warrior’ winner Drew Drechsel has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for receipt of child pornography and enticement of a minor
American Ninja Warrior champion Drew Drechsel was sentenced to 121 months in prison for receiving child pornography and enticement to travel for illicit sexual conduct.
Drechsel previously lived in Connecticut between 2014 and 2019, when he allegedly communicated with a child based in New Jersey. Law enforcement’s investigation revealed Drechsel kept images of the then-14-year-old on his phone. Drechsel admitted that they met through parkour activities tied to his experience on American Ninja Warrior.
Drechsel later confirmed in the investigation that he texted the anonymous victim about plans to engage in sexual activity, where he urged the minor to travel across state lines. The victim traveled to visit Drechsel in July 2015.
