A local photographer has begun serving a 10-month jail sentence for luring a child.
Andrew Derrek LeHoux, 33, pleaded guilty to one count involving a teenage girl under the age of 16. LeHoux, who goes by the name Dru, was arrested in January after a two-month investigation. The investigation began after his victim’s parents complained to police.
The girl and LeHoux never met face to face, but police used the incident to warn parents about the need to monitor their children’s online activity.
After LeHoux is released from jail, he will be on probation for three years. For the next 20 years, he will have to regularly register his address and vehicle information with police as part of the national sex offender registry and he must provide a blood sample for the national DNA databank used by police to solve crime.
LeHoux was also required to pay a $200 fine which goes into a fund to compensate and support victims of crime.
