MONROE, Wash. (AP) β A former Monroe police officer accused of filming a teenage babysitter taking showers in his home has been sentenced to more than a year in prison.
KIRO-TV reports (http://goo.gl/e11z80 ) Carlos Alberto Martinez was sentenced Thursday to 14 months in prison on charges of possessing sexually explicit material of a minor.
Police say Martinez knew the victim since she was 10 years old, and he began having a sexual relationship with her by the time she was 14.
The rape and molestation charges against him were dropped because prosecutors said the alleged victim, who is now 26, couldn't provide a consistent account of when the sexual relationship occurred.
Martinez has until Monday to post bond. If he does, he will be out of custody while his attorney appeals the case.
