NILES, Ohio - A Niles man was handed his sentence for sex crimes against minors in court Wednesday morning.

According to court employees, 30-year-old Philip Manfredi was sentenced to 90 days in jail followed by three years of probation on charges of disseminating material harmful to juveniles.

During his probation period, he's only allowed internet access on one provided mobile device and must have his internet activity monitored by the Trumbull County Adult Probation Department.

He's not allowed access to any social media and is ordered not to be present around minors. Court employees tell 21 News Manfredi does not have to register as a sex offender.

Manfredi's charges stem from him sending an obscene video to a minor. Police say they'd been investigating him for over a year ever since a similar case came out of Western Pennsylvania.
