CINCINNATI, Ohio-Broderick Witt, a 28-year-old former seminary student, was sentenced to five years probation for charges related to child sexual abuse materials. He pleaded guilty to eight counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor. The judge ordered no access to children or internet, six months at a correctional facility, and registration as a tier two sex offender. Witt claimed his actions were due to depression. Prosecutors sought 12 years in prison, arguing Witt had 230 abusive images/videos and showed no remorse. The judge chose probation, believing jail wouldn’t provide adequate rehabilitation. Witt had shared abusive content using the seminary’s IP address from November 2023 to February 2024, including videos of children as young as 6-10 years old.
