SP)--An Enid man was sentenced earlier this week to 30 years in prison, with 20 years suspended, after pleading guilty to several charges. Enid News and Eagle reports 20 year-old Zayne Anthony Nafus pleaded guilty Monday, to counts of lewd or indecent proposals to a child under 12 years old, manufacturing juvenile pornography, possessing juvenile pornography and violating the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act. According to an affidavit filed in the case, two men contacted Enid Police Department in April 2022, with concerns of approximately 20 images discovered on Nafus’ cellphone. During an interview with EPD, Nafus reportedly admitted to taking the photos that had been reported, later admitting that he took the photos of a 4 year-old girl he had previously been arrested for molesting. In 2018, then-16-year-old Nafus was charged as a youthful offender with a single felony count of lewd molestation. The case was adjudicated in Sept. 2020, and Nafus received a deferred sentence of 25 years.
