Snapchat predator earns prison in LVCO

(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man, who used Snapchat in an attempt to lure at least one teen into sending him nude pictures, has been sentenced to prison.

According to a news release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 23-year-old Enrique Baker was sentenced Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court, with the Judge ordering Baker to serve 7-years-10-months in custody, and then serve 3-years post-release supervision.

Baker, last month, entered a no contest plea to one count of electronic solicitation involving a victim of at least 14 years of age but under 16 years of age.

According to the release, Baker was arrested on January 26, following a joint investigation between Tonganoxie police and the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office that began on January 20.

According to court documents cited in the release, Baker friended the victim through the social media app Snapchat, and then asked for “nudes” from the victim, who never sent them, but eventually reported the request to authorities.
