Former OC Businessman Faces 30 Years for Child Porn

Former Ocean City businessman Dennis Devlin will be sentenced in July on federal sex crime charges involving a 13-year-old boy.

Devlin, 58, faces up to 30 years behind bars when he is sentenced July 29 in Orlando, Fla. He pleaded no contest to sexual exploitation and other charges April 21.

FBI agents arrested Devlin in February after he paid a 13-year-old boy to pose for photographs and perform sexual acts that he recorded on an iPhone, which he concealed in the bathroom ceiling of his hotel suite at the Desert Inn in Daytona Beach.

As part of the plea agreement, Devlin relinquished any ownership he had in the Desert Inn. Michael Ehmen, Devlin’s 20-year-old employee and accomplice, also pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation earlier in April. According to court documents, Ehmen had recruited the 13-year-old and took him to Devlin, who paid Ehmen $100.

According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Ehmen had sexual relations with Devlin, who then asked the employee to bring new people to him. Ehmen recruited the 13-year-old, the article said, and Devlin paid the boy $60 for allowing him to take photos and an additional $80 for a videotaped spanking with a ping-pong paddle.

Thirty years is not enough. On second thought, maybe it is (if he isn't paroled) considering he is 58 years old. Hopefully he will die in prison.
