We’ve been following this case here at Punching Kitty since we basically first launched over a year ago and it looks like its finally come to a close.

Former producer for local sports talk outfit KFNS Ryan Huff has been  sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to…deep breath…two felony counts of production of child pornography, one felony count of enticement of a child, one felony count of receipt of child pornography, two felony counts of possession of child pornography and one felony count of transferring obscene material to a minor.  Whew!

In case that’s not clear enough, lets revisit the initial report from Jan 24th, 2009 on this very site:

Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom,” which could mean anything since I’m guessing the reporter on the KMOV video I watched doesn’t know the difference between this very site and and actual “internet chatroom.”  After the meeting online, the two went to the movies, on a “date,” and then back to a house where they were joined by another 13 year old girl.  Shortly after her arrival they started partaking in sexual activity.  Huff’s alleged Playskool Orgy was noticed only after photos were taken and the girls where showing them around school!

Unfortunately for Huff, current Missouri state and federal laws don’t allow you to add the ages of your simultaneous sexual partners together to try to get a number above 18.

You know sometimes you really want the punishment to fit the crime and in this case it kinda does since we have a feeling Huff is going to be made uncomfortable by an older gentleman soon just like those girls.

What you haven’t heard what they do in prison?  Its ridiculous…

The saga of former KFNS producer Ryan Huff gets closer to the end.

We got an anonymous tip last night to our tip line (314-266-TIPS) telling us that Huff had in fact plead guilty to the charges.  Sure enough, after searching through a few sites we found an extremely small blurb on STLToday that had this to say about the 25 year old Huff:

Ryan A. Huff, 25, pleaded guilty in federal court here Tuesday to felony charges of enticement of a child, receipt of child pornography, transfer of obscene materials to a minor, and production and possession of child porn.

The plea agreement says he had sex with the younger girl and fondled the older girl. Court documents also say he sent pictures of his genitals to the 12-year-old and two other young girls.

From the sound of what we’ve been able to dig up as well as this post, Huff is facing a probable 25 year term in prison when his sentencing happens on February 12th. Abraham Lincoln’s birthday!

The last time we updated you on the charges against former KFNS producer Ryan Huff, we had this as the next step:

The case is #09JE-CR00165-01 “The State vs Ryan A. Huff” and will be heard by Judge Mark T Stoll.  There is a pre-trial set for November 13, 2009, with the actual jury trial starting on November 30th, 2009.

…so its no wonder we started getting emails this last week for updates on this case since it appears that the wheels were finally in motion.

Not so fast.

After doing some quick research in to the case it appears things have been delayed a bit.  There is now a Plea Hearing set for March 10th, 2010 and that is the only thing scheduled for this case at the time of this writing.

As always, we’ll keep you updated when we know more.

Until then you can catch up on all the past Ryan Huff posts.

Back when Punching Kitty first launched in January, one of our top stories, and one that is still right up there on the top traffic-getting list, was about Ryan Huff, at the time a producer for local sport-talk KFNS being held on rape charges.

Because this story has gotten so much traffic, and since no other news outlet seems to be keeping track, we thought it was a good time for an update to the story.

Here is a quote from our original piece “Breaking: KFNS Producer Arrested on Rape Charges” that describes the charges against Huff:

January 24th, 2009 – Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom.” After the meeting online, the two went to the movies, on a “date,” and then back to a house where they were joined by another 13 year old girl.  Shortly after her arrival they started partaking in sexual activity.  Huff’s alleged Playskool Orgy was noticed only after photos were taken and the girls where showing them around school!

We crawled through the court records for an update and here is what we found:

Huff was arraigned on March 6th, 2009 with the following charges brought against him:

• Four counts of Statutory Sodomy of the 1st Degree.  This is defined as “Deviate Sexual Intercourse With A Person Less Than 14 Yrs Old”
• Statutory Rape of the 1st Degree, Sexual Intercourse With A Person Less Than 14 Yrs Old, Serious Physical Injury, Display of a Deadly Weapon.  One per victim less than 12 years old.

All of the above counts are felonies.

The case is #09JE-CR00165-01 “The State vs Ryan A. Huff” and will be heard by Judge Mark T Stoll.  There is a pre-trial set for November 13, 2009, with the actual jury trial starting on November 30th, 2009.

Yikes. Guilty until proven innocent and all, but since the girls have photos and the charges are pretty hard core, I can’t see Huff getting out of this one.

Having never been to prison myself, I can only offer Huff tips I’ve learned from movies:

1. Watch out for your cornhole.
2. Eat a lot of eggs to get the respect of your fellow inmates.
3. If you break out, make sure its raining that night.  Makes your final escape way more dramatic.
4. You aren’t good at football are you?  That might help if you can help the warden’s football team.
5. You don’t think you could get a motorcycle in there could you?  You could probably do a sweet jump over the fence if you had a motorcycle.

[Editor's Note: Can you name all the movies I'm referencing in the comments?]

This post has an update, see below!

Ryan Huff, a Production Director and Producer for all sports-talk station KFNS (590 AM) was arrested in Arnold and charges were filed that included raping underage girls.

Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom,” which could mean anything since I’m guessing the reporter on the KMOV video I watched doesn’t know the difference between this very site and and actual “internet chatroom.”  After the meeting online, the two went to the movies, on a “date,” and then back to a house where they were joined by another 13 year old girl.  Shortly after her arrival they started partaking in sexual activity.  Huff’s alleged Playskool Orgy was noticed only after photos were taken and the girls where showing them around school!

Unfortunately for Huff, current Missouri state and federal laws don’t allow you to add the ages of your simultaneous sexual partners together to try to get a number above 18.

Check out the video (Because who the hell would ever want to link to an actual written piece?!) on KMOV’s website…oh and don’t fuck with Larry Conors.

Update (7/8/2009): Based on reader inquiries and lack of other coverage, we have an update to this story.  Check out that post here.
