ANOKA — A Coon Rapids man has been sentenced to six months in the Anoka County workhouse for taking pictures of underage boys in health club locker rooms.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Minor also was sentenced Monday to 10 years probation.
Prosecutors accused Minor of eight crimes, including stalking, using a minor in a sexual performance, possession of child pornography and interfering with someone’s privacy.
Minor pleaded guilty in May to stalking and, after a trial, was convicted of three of five counts of child pornography possession, as well as of interference with privacy. He was acquitted of the other charges.
Assistant Anoka County Attorney Amy Reed-Hall said it’s unfortunate Minor wasn’t convicted of more.
Defense attorney Kelly Keegan called the judge’s decision “fair.”
