Joseph Ray Robertson, 37, of Frisco was sentenced Monday to 240 months in federal prison for transporting a minor across state lines for sexual exploitation, washingtontimes.com reported. U.S. District Judge Richard Schell imposed the sentence and ordered lifetime supervised release.
Robertson had pleaded guilty to transportation of a minor for sexual exploitation. According to prosecutors, Robertson transported the child from Frisco to Atlanta in May 2024 to attend Furry Weekend Atlanta. He commissioned an elaborate custom-made costume for his furry persona, sexually abused the child at the convention in acts that would constitute child molestation and sodomy under Georgia law, purchased sexual stimulants and devices at the event, and commissioned artwork depicting his furry persona in sex acts with the child.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Frisco Police Department and prosecuted under Project Safe Childhood, a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006.
