John Piecuch of Hemet was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to soliciting and receiving a 13-year-old Maryland girl for nude photos. Piecuch had met the girl over Roblox, an online game platform, and had pretended to be 13 years old.

The victim’s mother found the messages between Piecuch and her daughter, prompting her to contact law enforcement.
