A Warren man will spend 25 years as a registered sexual offender as a result of sending sexually explicit videos to multiple juvenile females.

Ethan J. Massa, 20, was sentenced on two counts of unlawful contract with a minor by President Judge Maureen Skerda on Monday afternoon.

Police were alerted by Warren County Children and Youth Services that a 15-year-old female had received a sexually explicit video from Massa, who she had also met at Beaty Park, where he “asked the juvenile to come home with him to have sex.”

The incident is alleged to have occurred in early November 2021.

The juvenile told authorities that she met Massa at the park where he attempted to lure her again, telling police he “repeatedly attempted to get the victim to have sex with him.”

Police allege Massa then sent additional messages as well as the sexually explicit video.

Police then made contact with a second juvenile who “admitted that (Massa) had sent the video to her and she was shocked and the video was unwanted.”

His attorney, Henry Borger, told the court that Massa is “very remorseful for what happened here” and “knew he had clearly crossed the line.”

Borger stressed that his client has “taken responsibility for that” and been an “exemplary prisoner” since he was incarcerated. He also cited his client’s strong family support.

Calling the conduct “abhorrent” and not meaning to “minimize” the offense, Borger noted there was no direct physical contact with the victims.

Massa told the court he is “not here to make excuses” and called this the “biggest wake up call in life. He said he has “never been more motivated” to behave in his life.

Skerda cited letters from family, including one from his mother that indicated she believed in second chances.

“This isn’t a second chance,” Skerda said, citing his five prior times before a court on “minimal” offenses.

She said she considered the seriousness of the the conduct and also discussed his use of a cell phone to commit the offenses.

“It only takes a second,” she said, “to do what you did.”

She then reviewed his sexual offender registration requirements before handing down sentence which included 10 to 23 months incarceration with credit for 260 days time served, $1,425 in fines and fees, compliance with drug and alcohol treatment recommendations, dsubmission of a DNA sample, one year probation, a no contact order, participation in the COG program, sex offender treatment and 90 hours of community service on one of the count as well as 10-23 months incarceration with 260 days time served to be served concurrently on the other change as well as an additional year probation, 90 hours of community service and a no contact order with the second victim.
