A convicted sex offender is heading back to prison after admitting to sending a lewd image to a 13-year-old girl on Instagram. 

On Monday, Superior Court Judge Vernon Perez sentenced 33-year-old Ernest Vincent Losongco Jr. to 18 months in prison. Losongco pleaded guilty to second-degree indecent electronic display to a child, a felony that, according to Judge Perez, involves exposure of intimate parts or sexually explicit conduct in a lewd and lascivious manner.

 

Losongco is a registered sex offender with prior convictions involving minors.
