Ronald D. Sever - Repeat Sex Offender

A Beach man was ordered today to serve 10 years for producing child pornography and taking indecent liberties involving 8- and 10-year-old girls.

Ronald D. Sever, 45, pleaded guilty in January. Sever is a registered sex offender who was convicted in 1996 of sexual assault in Colorado.

Judge A. Joseph Canada Jr. sentenced Sever to 45 years in prison but suspended 35 years.
