- I'm over at the Dirksen for the 2 p.m. sentencing of former YouTube star Austin Jones. He pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography last February and prosecutors are asking Judge John Z. Lee to sentence him to 11 years. chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/…
- Replying to @samjcharlesJudge Lee has called a recess. For the last 90 min or so, several of Jones' victims & members of their families have given some sobering statements. Several have hurt themselves or attempted suicide. Some forgive him, others haven't. Jones has broken down crying at least 4 times.
