According to court documents, Constant was convicted of two counts of online enticement of a minor, three counts of receipt of child pornography, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and two counts of transferring obscene material to a minor.
The lengthy sentence underscores the severity of the crimes committed. Notably, there is no parole in the federal system, meaning Constant will serve the entirety of his 30-year prison term.
