NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – A man who pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to a child-sex case has been sentenced, state attorneys said.

Joseph Luis Levin, 38, was sentenced Thursday to 44 years in prison, followed by 10 years of sex offender probation, for his conviction on six counts of lewd or lascivious battery, one count of soliciting a child via computer and one count of traveling to meet a minor to do unlawful acts, according to state attorneys. Levin pleaded guilty to the charges in March.

Levin created false profiles between August and November 2013 on Instagram and other social media by pretending to be a teen boy, state attorneys said.

Levin then befriended a 13-year-old girl and convinced her to send pornographic photos of herself to him. State attorneys said Levin eventually had sex with the girl multiple times.

Levin is awaiting trial in an unrelated child-sex case, according to state attorneys.
