Murphy and his wife were co-owners of the studio, ABC15 previously reported.
In October 2021, Murphy traveled with the teen from Nebraska to Tuscon, Arizona, where Murphy had sex with the minor in his hotel room. ABC15 previously reported that Murphy was entering a not-guilty plea, but he ultimately pleaded guilty to persuading and enticing a minor to travel in interstate commerce to engage in sex.
