SPRINGFIELD â A Dalton man pleaded guilty Friday to several counts of child sexual exploitation.
James LaFrance, 65, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Springfield to four separate counts of sexual exploitation of children after he admitted to encouraging, on two separate occasions, a 16-year-old Massachusetts girl to take part in sexually explicit conduct during video chat sessions, according to a statement released by federal prosecutors. LaFrance befriended the girl online, provided specific directions about what she was to do on camera, and recorded her actions using his own computer.
LaFrance twice took part in virtually identical behavior toward a 16-year-old girl from Pennsylvania, prosecutors said. He committed the offenses between December 2018 and July 2019, according to court documents.
