A longtime Roaring Fork Valley resident was sentenced Wednesday to five years in the Colorado Department of Corrections after pleading guilty earlier this year to sexual exploitation of a child by video.
Peter O’Grady, 70, of Missouri Heights, was found to have more than 1 million pictures and video files of children on his computers and other electronic devices, according to Johnny Lombardi, a prosecutor with the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Lombardi labeled O’Grady’s crime as “heinous.” Julia Stancil, O’Grady’s attorney, countered that O’Grady is a man with an addiction who realizes he needs treatment.
