A man charged in one of the worst cases of child pornography investigated by the Butler County Sheriff's Office has been sentenced to prison. Trevor Fraley, 24, was indicted in 2019 on over 100 charges, including 60 counts of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor, and 41 counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance. On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to 16 counts of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor. He was sentenced to a minimum of 31 years in prison, and a maximum of 35 years. The father of three spoke during his sentencing saying he feels remorse over his actions and he hopes one day he can earn forgiveness.Fraley was arrested after Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said investigators found thousands of photos and videos of children being sexually assaulted, some of the victims still in diapers. "You can't even imagine when you see these babies in these positions," Jones said. "It should send chills down your spine."Jones repeatedly spoke of the horrors depicted in the images without going into specifics. The sheriff said the images – of which he has seen only a few – still haunt him."This is the worst of the worst," he said. "There were babies in diapers, as young as 8 months old." Neighbors said this case has sickened and disturbed them."Try to keep up with your kids, you know? You never know who's living down the street from you," said Fraley's neighbor, Steven Rhodes.
