Ritter had taken the stand on Tuesday, when he claimed that he hadn’t believed it when he had been told during the chat that “Emily” had been only 15 years old. During the chat Ritter had displayed himself naked and masturbating, via a webcam. A video of the webcam images was shown to jurors.
The prosecutor, Michael Rakaczewski, said Ritter was convicted “by his own actions and by his own words on the stand”.
