Hulu's 'A Father's Secret' addressed why Jason Lytton served less than a year after thousands of child sexual abuse images were found on his computer
Jason Lytton was charged on 100 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor — so why did he only serve 10 months in jail?
Jason was originally booked in 2021 after Ashley found thousands of child sexual abuse images on his computer — including videos he filmed of Avaya, whom she shared with her ex-husband Matt. The authorities found the material through a search warrant but Jason was ultimately indicted on two misdemeanor counts of voyeurism, a third-degree felony of obstructing justice and 10 counts of second-degree felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Audio of a statement Sutton made was featured in the doc where he referred to Jason's behavior as 'one step beyond child porn possession and one step below sexual offense with a child.' Sutton used the fact that Jason filmed Avaya as proof of a 'significant agitating factor.''On that day was the first time I met Sam Sutton. He said it looked like there was a level of escalation on Jason's part on going from photos to filming Avaya.
'It's pretty common practice for us to explore a plea negotiation in just about every case. I wish the system had more capacity but it doesn't. So that's a reality,' Sutton said on the 'Betrayal' podcast. 'Of course the victim's input and what happened to them is of paramount concern when we proceed on a specific set of criminal charges. But the job of a prosecutor is broader than that.
