The court docket summary doesn’t have the actual sentencing paperwork in it yet, but there was a hearing and local media are reporting that Charles Michael Segaloff (aka BDSM author Michael Makai) was sentenced on 8/5/2016 to two years in federal prison.

Apparently he’d filed a memo before the sentencing to try to get the sentence reduced.
Remember, this is a guy who’s nearly sixty, groomed the minor victim online for a YEAR, transported a minor across state lines for the purpose of sex without the permission of her parents, and is a former registered sex offender in ANOTHER case involving a minor (for which the registration period expired about the time his Michael Makai persona appeared). He pled down from the original charges to sending obscene material to a minor.
Main blog post with all docket and filing information on original arrest.
Sounds like this couldn’t have happened to a more worthy candidate. Hopefully by the time he gets out most of his followers will have moved on.
@Julaine – We can only hope.
