Anthony Frank Scovotto, 58, pleaded guilty to attempted production of child pornography.
A South Bay man has been sentenced to 30 years behind bars for attempting — via text messages and audio calls — to convince an 11-year-old girl to produce child sexual abuse material, officials announced Wednesday.
In April and May of 2017, Scovotto contacted the victim, whom he believed was 12 years old, via audio calls and text messages. To convince the victim to produce illegal material, Scovotto told the girl that he loved her and that they were “meant for each other.” In his plea agreement, Scovotto admitted that in 2017 he separately contacted two additional victims online, both of whom were minors. He asked both victims to send him sexually explicit photographs of themselves, which they did.
