Man Gets 30 Years for Child Abuse

Fifty-five-year-old Jon Michael Stock just received a 30-year prison sentence for abusing children, pleading guilty to six felony charges including first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 14. The judge imposed the maximum 360-month sentence, with all charges running concurrently. Originally charged with 23 counts, including child pornography and privacy violations, the rest were dropped as part of the plea deal. His defense argued for probation or a lighter sentence, citing no prior record, completed treatment, and community support—but the judge rejected those pleas. Stock will serve time at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud, with 59 days already credited, and must register as a predatory offender. Civil commitment proceedings may follow upon release. He also faces over $4,000 in fines. This case underscores the severe penalties for crimes against children.
