A transgender performer will spend at least the next 14 years behind bars after pleading guilty to child exploitation this afternoon.
Christopher Lynch, known on stage as Pasha Nicole, could have spent life in prison for his role in what authorities called a human trafficking operation
Channel 2's Tony Thomas was in court Wednesday, where Lynch broke down in tears.
"I don't even know where to begin. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but this is by far the most utterly stupid one I've made," Lynch told the judge.
