Description

Alec Hegge, an Indiana therapist for individuals with autism, was sentenced to 91 years in prison after a federal investigation linked him to an Ohio nanny involved in the production of child sexual abuse material. During a lengthy interrogation with local police and Homeland Security, Hegge transitioned from discussing his online interactions to admitting to the exploitation of his own children and the purchase of illicit content. The case concluded with Hegge pleading guilty to multiple counts of child molestation and exploitation, while his associate, Molly Elisabeth Duncan, also faces sentencing following her own guilty plea in federal court.

Watching him try to explain a 'diaper fetish' to a room full of federal agents is the ultimate 'how did I get here' moment.

He told the cops he 'wanted to help the victims,' and the judge agreed by making sure the victims never have to see him again until the year 2117.
