A Walker County man is facing time in federal prison after admitting to receiving child pornography and cyberstalking several victims, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.On Sept. 6, 2023, Bohac was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $5,170 in restitution to a known victim, according to the attorney's office.
Multiple victim impact statements were given at the hearing, detailing how Bohac's conduct affected them. Prosecutors highlighted how sextortion cases target young people and often turn deadly. The court also heard how perpetrators use several online mediums of communication, including social networking apps, messaging apps, video voice calls, email, dating, and gaming apps.
"This is your typical sextortion case," David Martinez, FBI Houston acting special agent in charge, said. "The individual behind this cyberstalking case took advantage of his young victims by tricking them into sending him compromising content of themselves. He then took pleasure in terrorizing them and shaming them personally. Unfortunately, we're seeing more and more of these types of cases and too many victims of sextortion who succumb to the shame and take their own lives.
Authorities say he also admitted to offering to pay multiple females online for nude photos but didn't follow through when the victims complied. Instead, he demanded more naked photos and threatened to post them online if they did not contact him, according to charging documents.
