BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — It was sentencing day Monday for a member of a child porn ring charged in Calhoun County with a sexual assault on a 3-month old baby and a 3-year-old girl.
31-year-old Matthew Toole was given 50 to 140 years after he entered a no-contest plea to two charges of criminal sexual conduct involving an infant girl.
Judge John Hallacy sentenced Toole to 25-years each on the two charges but ruled that they should run consecutively, rather than concurrently, because of the seriousness of the violations.
Prosecutors have videos of most of the crimes, allegedly shot by Toole and girlfriend Talia Furman, who is still awaiting trial.
Both of them still await trial in Branch County, along with two others, for allegedly conspiring with other members of his child porn ring to kidnap, torture and kill a young child.
