Richard Alan Chaney was sentenced Tuesday to nine years in state prison for sexually assaulting two teenage girls he met online. Chaney, 25, pleaded guilty to one felony count each of oral copulation of a minor under 16, contacting a child with the intent to distribute pornography to a minor, sexual penetration by foreign object of an unconscious victim and oral copulation of an unconscious person.

According to prosecutors, Chaney communicated with a 14-year-old Texas girl via a webcam based website between May 1, 2008 and July 31, 2008, and engaged in sexually explicit conversations and mutual exhibitionism and masturbation with the girl. He met with the girl while she was on a family vacation in California and had sex with her in June of 2008. The girl's mother filed a report with police. Chaney also reportedly videotaped himself sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl he had met online. The girl was unconscious at the time of the assault.
