A US man who dressed up as Spider-Man while working as a window cleaner at a children’s hospital has been sentenced to over a century behind bars for child pornography charges.
On Monday, 36-year-old Nashville man Jarratt A. Turner was sentenced to 105 years in prison for producing and distributing child pornography, PEOPLE reports.
According to court records, prosecutors said Turner dressed up in the super-hero costume to gain access to other children.
“It makes it even better if I can do my job and help some people out at the same time,” Turner said in an interview with WZTV in 2014, months before his arrest.
“These kids are pretty sick and anything we can do to make their day a little bit better, I’m all for it,” he said.
Between October 2014-May 2015, Turner took sexually explicit images and videos of two children he babysat in his Nashville apartment, FOX reports. The children were between the ages of 12 and 31 months old.
The window washer pleaded guilty to 16 counts of production of child pornography and transportation of child pornography in March 2017.
“Children of this community are a little safer today with this sexual predator behind bars,” Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Hammer said.
Turner was sentenced to 105 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $31,104 in restitution to the victims.
