Myers later pleaded guilty to felony solicitation.
“It should never have happened,” Myers told Judge Jeannine Pratt in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Monday. “I was stressed out … That is not an excuse. I am sorry for what I did.”
Pratt reviewed Myers’ criminal record that included drug and theft offenses. She said she found he showed no genuine remorse for the crime.
“The court is concerned that you were preying on this young man and his disability. You took advantage of him,” Pratt said. “It is the court’s obligation to make sure it doesn’t happen.”
Myers was given credit for four days served in the county jail. He will be ordered to pay court costs and his driver’s license will be suspended for one year following prison release.
