‘Superhero’ sentenced on child porn charges

-

Federal prosecutor­s say a Tennessee man who dressed as Spider-Man and washed windows at a children’s hospital has been sentenced to more than 100 years in prison on child pornograph­y charges. A statement from U.S. Attorney Don Cochran says 36year-old Jarratt A. Turner of Nashville was sentenced this week to 105 years in prison. Turner pleaded guilty last year to 16 counts of producing and transporti­ng child porn. Court records say Turner befriended two families with young children and then took sexually explicit photos and videos of the children while babysittin­g them. The records say Turner then distribute­d images on the internet that included him molesting both children. Court records also reference Turner’s attempts at accessing other children by dressing as Spider-Man while washing windows at a children’s hospital.
