Robert Dion Ables of Hutchins, Texas has been sentenced 80 years for producing child pornography.
The Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) began working on this case in December 2015, after they received a complaint from a detachment in southern Saskatchewan. The complaint was regarding a young girl who was being exploited through a social media app.

“The sexual victimization and exploitation of these young girls is profoundly sad,” said U.S. Attorney Parker. “It is also, obviously, a serious crime for which the penalties are justifiably significant.”
In March, Ables pleaded guilty to one count of receiving child pornography and two counts of producing child pornography.
