Former Uniontown Man Heading To State Prison

A former Uniontown man was sentenced to nearly 18 years in prison and lifetime supervised release for molesting a child in live videos and pictures. According to the Department of Justice, Zachary Bosh, 39, was sentenced in a federal court to 210 months behind bars and lifetime supervision on his conviction of production of visual depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. On April 12, 2019, an undercover officer entered a public chat group called #parentstoys using an internet-based and free mobile app. A user by the handle “ascott55055? initiated a private chat with the officer, sending the officer around seven videos and/or images of a minor, one of which shows the sexual exploitation of the victim. The user was later identified as Bosh. “This defendant will spend the next 17.5 years in prison for preying upon, exploiting and abusing a young girl who was under the defendant’s care for his own sexual gratification,” said Acting United States Attorney Rivetti. “This sentence sends a clear message that predatory crimes, such as child exploitation offenses, will continue to be vigorously prosecuted by this office.”
