A federal judge called the acts of a Johnson City man a nightmare with cold, calculated threats before sentencing him to 22 years in prison.
Ryan Dale Gross, 26, pleaded guilty earlier this year to posing as a 16-year-old on Snapchat and threatening a teenage girl in Illinois unless she sent him sexually suggestive photos.
Investigators were able to trace Gross’ social media account back to his cell phone. He was convicted on four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
