The backstory:

Investigators say he never pressed play, but instead sexually assaulted the girl. Prosecutors said he admitted to the crime and was convicted of third-degree sexual assault. He was sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison and was put on the sex offender registry.
"The court system and the judges made it clear that he needs to be monitored until 2042," the investigator said. "So, you can understand the severity of the crime by that."
