30-year-old Eric J. Fisher was convicted on charges of Using a Computer to Facilitate a Child Sex Crime and two counts each of Soliciting an Intimate Representation of a Minor and Exposing a Child to Harmful Material.
Fisher will serve 6 years on the first charge and received 1.5 more years on three of the other charges, but a sentence was withheld on the second Exposing charge.
