High School Football Coach Sentenced to 270 Months in Federal Prison for Sexual Exploitation of 14- and 15-Year Old Girls
Spokane Man Sentenced in Federal Court
Spokane – William D. Hyslop, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, announced that Charles Jay Eglet, age 31, of Spokane, Washington, was sentenced today after having pleaded guilty on February 12, 2020, to Production of Child Pornography and Online Enticement of A Minor To Engage in Illicit Sexual Activity. Senior United States District Judge Wm. Fremming Nielsen sentenced Eglet to a 270-month term of imprisonment, to be followed by a lifetime of court supervision after he is released from federal prison.
According to information disclosed during court proceedings, Eglet used Snapchat and other social media platforms to reach out to multiple 14- and 15-year old girls for the purpose of soliciting child pornography from them or coercing them into having sex with him. Eglet often deceived his victims into believing that he was close to their ages, when he was actually in his late twenties. He would then meet with them in person to engage in illicit sexual acts. On multiple occasions, Eglet successfully met up with a 14-year-old girl, and then a 15-year-old girl, to engage in illicit sexual conduct with them. One victim he met for the first time in person at the Northern Quest Casino when she was there with her family for a concert; another victim he met for the first time in the parking lot of a church on Spokane’s South Hill. Eglet’s victims were typically in high school or about to start high school. One victim was scheduled to begin high school in 2018 where Eglet was employed as an assistant football coach.
