RIVERSIDE – (INT) – A young Fontana man has drawn a 25-year prison sentence for enticing girls as young as 9-years-old to film themselves in sexually explicit ways.

Jonathan Garcia, 28, admitted posing as a 15-year-old boy in his online conversations. He enticed the victim to send him “naughty” pictures in exchange for Robux, a currency that can be used on the Roblox online gaming platform.

His youngest victim made three sexually explicit videos that she sent to Garcia through online messaging services. The victim’s mother discovered the online communications with Garcia and alerted the Ontario Police Department, which opened an investigation.

Garcia was sentenced Monday in US District Court in Riverside.
