YOUNGSTOWN -  A Youngstown man is going to prison for taking obscene pictures of a fifteen-year-old girl.

Robert Hite II, 42, was given a five-to-six-year sentence during a hearing on Wednesday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Hite pleaded guilty in March to endangering children, importuning, and illegal use of a minor in nude material stemming from incidents that occurred in November.

When Hite completes his sentence, he’ll have to register his address with authorities as a Tier Two Sex Offender.
