A former Perry County man is sentenced to 40 years in prison for sexually exploiting minorsATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) — A former Perry County resident was sentenced Tuesday to 40 years in prison for sexually exploiting at least four minors. According to court documents, Shannon “Michael” McTighe, 46, who lived in Thornville, possessed 300,000 images and videos of child pornography on his electronic devices. The content also included newly created material that depicted McTighe sexually abusing four minor victims to whom he had access. McTighe pleaded guilty in February to sexual exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography. “Putting this defendant in federal prison for the next 40 years protects these victims from further abuse and online exploitation.”
