Former San Quentin guard sentenced to life for child sex assault
A former guard at San Quentin State Prison has been sentenced to life behind bars after multiple convictions of child sexual assault, the Napa County District Attorney’s Office said Friday.
Following an eight-day jury trial in June, Bardouski was found guilty of sexual intercourse with a child under 10, sexual penetration with a child under 10, lewd or lascivious acts upon a child 14 or under, and a lewd or lascivious act upon a child 14 or 15.
While working for California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, between 2010 and 2015, Bardouski sexually assaulted three children in his family — one when she was 14, and two at his home in west Napa when they were between 4 and 9 years old. The victims came forward in 2023.
Bardouski was employed as a corrections officer with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from 1997 to 2022, according to CDCR. Following his retirement from San Quentin in 2022, he moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where he was arrested in 2024.
“While I cannot give these girls their childhoods back or undo the immense pain they’ve suffered, I hope today’s sentence and having the opportunity to have their voices heard gives them a sense of justice and is a big step toward closing this chapter in their lives,” Deputy District Attorney Shashawnya Worley said in a statement.
In addition to the prison sentence, Ortiz ordered Bardouski to pay $950,000 in restitution to his three victims for their emotional suffering.
Ohio man gets prison for child sexual abuse material
A Springboro man will spend up to a dozen years in prison for having child sexual abuse material on his phone.
Christian Lloyd Baughman, 24, was sentenced Thursday, Aug. 6, by Warren County Common Pleas Judge Timothy Tepe to eight to 12 years in prison.
He pleaded guilty Thursday ahead of his sentencing to 40 counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and one count each of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and aggravated possession of drugs.
Baughman reportedly possessed drugs and images and videos of children in a state of nudity and/or engaged in sexual activity on Dec. 23, 2025, in Hamilton Twp., according to a grand jury report.

Christian Baughman Warren County Jail
He was found in a vehicle with a 15-year-old girl in the early morning hours of Dec. 23 at a closed business, Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell said at the time of Baughman’s indictment.
“During a subsequent investigation relating to that incident, a search warrant was obtained for the defendant’s cellphone, where the CSAM was discovered,” he said.
The videos and images depicted boys and girls of varying ages, but some were allegedly as young as 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 years old. There was no evidence Baughman took the photos or videos himself, the prosecutor said.
As part of his plea, 16 counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance were dismissed.
In addition to his prison term, Baughman is designated a Tier II sex offender, which will require him to register his address every six months for 25 years. Once released from prison, he also will be on parole for a mandatory five years, according to court records.
Texan directed online abuse of 4 y/o in New Jersey
Gets 25 years
Newark, N.J. — A Texas man who directed a New Jersey woman to sexually abuse her four-year-old child and had her send him videos of it has been sentenced to a quarter of a century behind bars.
Earlier this week, 48-year-old Russell Lynn Davis, Jr., a registered sex offender, was sentenced in Camden federal court.
Davis had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sexually exploit a child, sexual exploitation of a child, and receipt of child pornography. In addition to the prison term, he was sentenced to a decade of supervised release.
What Investigators Found
According to federal authorities, between June and August 2021, Davis received at least 14 videos from a New Jersey woman who had sexually abused her then-four-year-old child and recorded it.
Investigators reviewing messages between Davis and the woman determined he had been directing and commanding her to commit specific sexual acts against the child.
U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer called the case particularly egregious, noting that Davis had directed a mother to abuse her own child and was already a registered sex offender when he did it.
The case was investigated by FBI Newark's Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force under Special Agent in Charge Stefanie Roddy and was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide DOJ initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Kentucky man accused of sexual abuse takes plea deal
Less than 3 months since being formally indicted, an Elizabethtown man accused of sexually abusing a minor when she was 8-years-old entered a guilty plea.
The offer from the Commonwealth said that Allen will serve a seven-year sentence.
When interviewed by an Elizabethtown police officer regarding the allegations made by the juvenile victim, the arrest citation said Allen did not have much to say, “but was clearly upset.”
Sometime following the interview with police, Allen is said to have contacted police and admitted the accusations were accurate.
Allen was arrested April 8. He is being held in lieu of a $25,000 cash bond at the Hardin County Detention Center. Allen is set to appear Oct. 13 for formal sentencing.
