39-year-old Douglas Lee Patrick of Baltimore, Maryland was sentenced to 10 years in prison for receiving child pornography.

Patrick posed as a cancer stricken lesbian teen on MyYearbook named Leah. He would prey on underage girls sympathies and convince these girls that they were in some kind of relationship. Then Patrick would get his victims to send them pictures of their genitalia.

Sexual predators will tell any kind of lie in order to get what they want. As I keep saying only watchful parents can keep these online predators from victimizing your children be it physically or virtually. Also, I’m sure that a lot of the pictures that Patrick received were taken on webcams. I know I sound like the proverbial broken record but no child should have a webcam and kids’ computers should be kept in a common area that it is easy to monitor.
