GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 25, 2024) – A 32-year-old Holland man will be more than twice his age before he could see life a free man again.
Jared Hanner was sentenced on Friday to a mandatory 35-year federal prison sentence at US District Court in Grand Rapids. He had pleaded guilty to charges of sexual exploitation of a child and penalties for registered sex offenders stemming from an incident last year in which he convinced a 38-year-old Grand Haven woman to text him explicit photos of a girl under the age of 13 that was under her care.
The woman, Tasha Erin Blake, complied with the request, but then turned state’s evidence, and a search warrant of Hanner’s phone disclosed the photos and the request. Blake was sentenced earlier this year to 18 years in prison for a guilty plea of distribution of child pornography.
