Livingston would used the accounts to coerce the minors into sexually explicit conduct in exchange for money.

He allegedly did this with at least five minor victims, who were between 15 and 16 years old.

If convicted, Livingston faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life in federal prison for each count of coercion and enticement.
