A formerly well-connected Republican donor was convicted on Friday of enticing teenage girls with gifts, cash and money in exchange for sex.
A federal jury found Anton Tony Lazzaro, 32, guilty of seven counts involving commercial sex acts with five girls aged 15 and 16 in 2020, when he was 30 years old.
The charges carry mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years with a maximum of life in prison.

From this article, he's only aged 2 years since 2020... I'd like to find out how he did that.

Frankly, I do not remember this story. I reckon it didn't get all that much media attention, but it always seems that it's the GOP that is guilty of this crap, and so, naturally, they have to accuse Democrats of being pedophiles.
