Former Professor Sentenced for Child Abuse | Sacramento News

A former West Sacramento professor, Rodger Githens, 48, received an 18-year, 6-month prison sentence for attempting to entice a minor and possessing child sexual abuse material. He communicated via a dating app with an undercover agent posing as the uncle of a fictional 7-year-old girl, revealing disturbing fantasies and even planning to travel to Fresno to meet her. FBI and local police raided his home in April, finding Telegram chats filled with abusive content. Convicted in May, he’ll also serve 10 years of supervised release with strict internet and minor access restrictions, register as a sex offender, and pay a $75,000 fine — a harsh sentence meant to send a clear warning.
