A Sac County man has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison following his conviction in Sac County District Court for soliciting explicit images from a minor victim via Snapchat. According to court records, 42-year-old Nick Lee Pierce of Odebolt pled guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, a class C felony, and his sentence was handed down yesterday (Monday) by a district court judge. The charge stems from a Sac County Sheriff’s Office investigation that found Pierce had sent pictures of his genitals to the juvenile victim through the social media app on April 8 and coerced the victim to send pictures back in exchange for money. Pierce was immediately transferred to the custody of the Iowa Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence. In addition to the prison term, Pierce will be required to register with the Iowa Sex Offender Registry for the remainder of his life.
