25 years. After an investigation by FBI - Baltimore's Violent Crimes Against Children Squad, 25-year-old Isaiah Poole of Suitland, Maryland, is headed to federal prison for more than two decades for committing child s*x abuse crimes.
Poole met and s*xtorted young girls through social media platforms using Snapchat and other social media accounts to manipulate and coerce at least six girls — ranging from ages 9-14 — to send him s*xually explicit photographs and videos of themselves. Poole, who pretended he was a teenage girl, manipulated the minor victims into producing and sending him s*xually explicit images, often under the ruse of playing truth or dare. He also directed the minors to expose their ge***al areas and engage in s*xual conduct.
After some victims informed Poole that they no longer wished to send him s*xually explicit images, he threatened to send the images to their families and friends if they did not continue to produce content. Additionally, Poole distributed the s*xually explicit images he received from two minors.
