Jones was sentenced Nov. 27, 2019, to 22½ years in prison for raping two toddlers and recording the abuse, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio.

According to court documents, in that case Jones raped two 3-year-old girls between 2003 and 2009 and created more than 100 images of each instance of abuse.

Jones also photographed two other girls and at least six women while they were sleeping, the release stated.

On Jones’ computer, investigators found that he exchanged more than 100,000 images and videos of child porn, according to the release.
