A Hempstead man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for making multiple sexually explicit videos of a 9-year-old girl and sending child porn to minors on Snapchat.

Manuel Geovanny Torres Rivas, 27, pleaded guilty to the charges in January.

He will have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and cannot have any unsupervised contact with minors.

U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement, "Today's sentence removes a dangerous predator and is only possibly due to the bravery of two young girls who came forward to authorities about the defendant's disturbing behavior."
