A Texan who watched a live Internet broadcast of the sexual molestation of a [2 month old] baby by the child's father -- and who sent messages with instructions -- is going to prison.
A federal judge in Austin today sentenced 47-year-old Steven Keith Hawkins to 17 and a-half years behind bars.
The Austin man pleaded guilty in September to two counts of transporting and shipping material involving the sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of a minor.
The sentence was harsher than the ten years that a judge in California gave 42-year-old Larry Michael Jeffs -- the man convicted of transmitting the video images.
