Judge Ted Stewart ordered Cedar City resident Chad Ryan Huntsman to 270 months in federal prison for enticing a minor victim to engage in sexual explicit conduct he later used to produce child pornography and transport it via the internet. Huntsman was given 10 minutes following court to report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
In addition, Stewart ordered Huntsman to remain on supervised parole for life while continuing to register as a sex offender throughout that time. He is also to complete mental health and sex offender treatment and is not allowed contact with anyone under the age of 18 without adult supervision.
