Donnie Snook receiving a sentence of 18 years in federal prison for 46 child exploitation charges.
Some people sitting in court today were visibly upset and crying at the news of his sentence.
Judge Brien is speaking court this morning saying mitigating factors in his sentencing include the fact that he does not have a record, he cooperated with police, he plead guilty plea and he received a positive pre-sentence report.
The judge also saying Snook appeared to have genuine remorse but failed to empathize with his victims.
The mother of one Snook victim says she deals with daily fear her son will commit suicide or die from the drugs or alcohol he has turned to.
