St. Clair County Men Sentenced to 50 Years in Prison for Sexual Exploitation of Minors

Two St. Clair County men have been sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexual exploitation of children.

Court documents show Austin Ray Sabb-Visga, 30, and Todd Allen Sabb-Visga, 48, of Kimball Township, were sentenced Wednesday (Sept. 18) after pleading guilty in May 2024.

The Sabb-Visga sexually abused children entrusted to their care and filmed the abuse. Austin also distributed videos of the abuse to Todd and others.

In June 2023, the Michigan State Police and the United States Secret Service were notified of the Sabb-Visgas’ crimes after a tipster notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Austin had sent an image of child pornography.

Police executed a search warrant at Sabb-Visga’s home and seized several cell phones. Forensic examination of the devices revealed multiple abuse of one child for at least a year and the exploitation of at least two other children.

Court documents show the Sabb-Visgas also pleaded guilty in St. Clair County to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. They were each sentenced to 50 years in prison for their state crimes.
