Their Just Desserts

  The Scioto County child sex trafficking operations lead defendant has been sentenced to 40 years. In Columbus, Ohio. Larry Dean Porter who appears to be at the head of this horrendous group was sentenced to serve 480 months in prison by Federal Court.                                                                             U.S.   Attorney, Kenneth L Parker said, "He is a predator who manipulated and abused children and drug addicted women in southern  Ohio for way too many years. Though no sentence can undo the indescribable harm he caused, it is fitting that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.' Some of Porter's relatives and friends were indicted  in June of 2022. They have all been convicted at this time.

   Porter's had an extended life of abusing drug addicted women and children as well.  He'd trade strung out parents drugs for the opportunity to use their children in pornographic movies he would make, then bury the flash drives in his yard in an attempt to hide the evidence.  He not only sexually abused these addicted children but he forced them to sexually abuse their own children so he had something to hold over their heads incase he ever got arrested. Which he did after becoming under investigation  in 2019 by the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force. Some of Porter"s  associates would bring children to the house about three times a week .( They were all under the age of ten) where he would use these children to perform sexual acts with adults in trade for drugs.

   Porter was arrested In March of 2020 By the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Upon hearing this, two of his daughters, a cousin and some other associates and friends tried to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses to ruin the case against him.

   They dug up the flash drives and one of his friends took them to his own residents where he was later found with them. Over jail calls, Porter's cousin discussed with him plans to assault and even  possibly kill a witness that they thought was a possible informant.

   In August of 2022, Larry Dean Porter pleaded guilty to conspiring to engage in sex trafficking by force and coercion, fraud, child sex trafficking and participation in a drug trafficking conspiracy. He was sentenced to 40 years in Federal Prison and also ordered to pay more than 300,000 in restitution to the victims.

Aldridge      ( 324 months in prison), Charity Rawlins (210 months), Frank E Andrews       (121 months), Ronnie L Rawlins (63 months), Johnathan David Flagg (60 months), Ralph Albert Aldridge (48 months), Crystal D Porter (30 months), Denna Sue Porter (3 months), and Errol Wayne Porter ( 6 months of home detention).
