An Elyria man who pretended to own a modeling agency and groomed young girls into sending him child pornography was sentenced to prison, prosecutors announced on Monday.

Joshua Glover, 36, was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

After being released, Glover must serve 10 years of supervised release and pay $2,000 “in assessments toward a monetary reserve” for victims of child sex abuse, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio wrote.

According to court records, Glover used Snapchat to communicate with hundreds of underage girls between January 2022 and January 2024, posing as the owner of a modeling agency.

Why do you suppose that is?

I used to work for an insurance company paying health care claims. One of my coworkers was a young single mother.
She was nice, but more importantly, she was uncommonly beautiful, from head to toe. It was a natural phenomenon, in that she looked exactly like her Mom.

I asked her had she ever thought of Modeling part time?
“Yes”, she responded. She would love that sort of thing, but their were too many people in that industry who are fakes, and would waste your time as you try to build a portfolio.
Too many people who are not as sincere or influential as they claim to be. My family just had enough of dealing with them. So, we stopped.”

I am glad that this sick pervert is being brought to justice. But where are the parents? This happens over and over and over again. Some adult child molester scams teenagers into sending naked pics. Here, he pretended to be a modeling agency. In other cases, they pose as teenagers themselves with cute but fake social media pictures. Once they get the naked pictures, they blackmail the teens into sending more. I know its hard to monitor everything that your kids do but parents need to be much more hands on when it comes to monitoring their kids' social media.

Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, etc, for young girls?? No!
Portals to hell.

Actually, bad for all. My own opinion. Lord Jesus, keep us close to You and protect the innocence of youth.

Bread and Circuses.

Every moment of our lives is filled with work or entertainment.

Family time is spent each on their individual electronic device. Better to spend time with some talking head on your phone than talking to your kid about his/her day.

Who are your kid's friends? Unless you car pool your kids you might never meet them.

One good thing about Trump working to on-shore cellphone manufacture is that they will become much more expensive. Many parents won't be able to afford phones for their kids. Payphones might reemerge.

Used phones will increase in value.

This pig deserves whatever punishment the law can give him. But why in the heck have the parents of these girls not taught them proper behavior?

My guess is that this perv got his start with an early addiction to porn.
