Joseph Hubert Crespin
Joseph Hubert Crespin, 42, was sentenced to 16 months in state prison on April 23 to a felony count of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes. He pleaded guilty to the charge earlier this year, Nevada County court records show.
Crespin received credit for already having served over 800 days in the Nevada County Jail while the case was pending, and will not have to serve any additional time in prison, prosecutors said.
Crespin was arrested March 1, 2020, after being caught in a sting operation set up by the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s detectives had received a tip that Crespin was using social media to solicit sex from two 13-year-old boys, and were able to use this information to set up a meeting with Crespin, the Sheriff’s Office has said.
