An Ocean Shores man is now facing decades behind bars after a jury found him guilty on nine child exploitation charges. The two-day trial ended with a conviction, and prosecutors are pushing for tougher penalties because the victims were minors. He was taken into custody after the verdict and could face more than 50 years in prison at sentencing. The investigation started last spring after a tip to the Internet Crimes Against Children task force led detectives to a home in Ocean Shores.
