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

Two St. Clair County men were 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-Visgas sexually abused children in their care and filmed their 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 the Sabb-Visgas home, seizing multiple cell phones. Forensic examination of the devices revealed the multiple abuse of one child for at least a year and the exploitation of at least two other children.

According to court documents, 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.
