St. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) – A Minnesota man has been sent to federal prison for convictions related to cyberstalking and child pornography crimes.

He was sentenced Tuesday, according to a news release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota. The St. Paul man was accused of committing the crimes from January 2019 to February 2023.

Federal court documents charge 40-year-old man Chedor TV to present himself as a minor to communicate with the minor victim on the social networks Snapchat and Discord.

He is accused of using fake accounts to send the victim sexually explicit images. TV also used the online aliases to stalk the victim, according to the federal charges.

While tracking the young girl on social networks, TV is also accused of having filmed the young victim while she was taking a shower at his home without her knowledge.

He also created a sexually explicit video of the girl while she slept at his home, according to federal court records.

The victim then attempted to terminate contact with one of TV's fake online accounts and TV responded by threatening to disclose sexually explicit material of her that it had captured and created without her knowledge, the statement said Press.

In January, TV pleaded guilty to one count of producing child pornography and admitted to harassing the girl online.

TV was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in federal prison. The release said his time behind bars will be followed by 10 years of supervised release.
