A Leesburg man was sentenced in Highland County Common Pleas Court to 45 months in prison for pandering obscenity and tampering with evidence.

Court records state that Frey was ordered to be designated as a Tier II registered sex offender. According to the Ohio Attorney General’s website, a Tier II Sex Offender is “subject to registration and verification requirements every 180 days for 25 years.” The court document for this order was secured and not available to the public.

According to court documents for the first count, on or around the period of Jan. 1, 2022, and continuing after that, Simon Frey did, bought, procured, possessed or controlled obscene material that had a minor as one of its participants.

Wilson was also sentenced on one forfeiture specification. She was also given nine days of jail-time credit.

Court records state that Wilson was ordered to pay restitution of $1,350 to the Highland County Task Force alongside a co-defendant to the Highland County Victim Witness Office.
