Kegan Kline reads prepared statement in court, crying & sniffling: I was in a deep state of depression & shut in my house. I wish I would have made choices to get a high school diploma & driver's license. I made fake profiles because of my loneliness...

Prosecution says aggravating factor in sentencing should be Kline's behavior in jail soliciting sexual conversations from women. "He's doing the exact same thing. He can't stop.

Prosecution asks for a total of 50 years in sentences for Kegan Kline on 25 convictions related to child . I may have missed if some of those are recommended to be served concurrently. Again, probation officer recommended 35 years (3 suspended).

This will probably be clairified by media when sentencing is over but I think (and I should know this from being a lifetime Hoosier) his time can be cut in half or more if he is a good boy and takes some classes since his convictions are low level felonies. My bil is in prison for DUI's and that is the way his is. I wonder where KAK will end up being housed. JMO

Defense recommends sentence of 16 years (5 suspended), so 11 years in prison for Kegan Kline. Defense says judge should consider that Kline did not create or ask for many of the images he is charged with possessing or disseminating.

The Judge will also consider that has no priors and has been in prison for about 3 years MOO

Yeah I'd like some clarity as to what is meant by "was well aware of his association"? Probation officer is not a mental health worker so whatever he admitted to, as far as Delphi, should be laid out in court and reported. JMO

The date of his last offense, afawk, was 2017; I expect he would consider that, too. How will the judge look at him hitting up adult women while he has been incarcerated?
