Here’s a powerful testimonial from a young woman who was just one of many teen victims of pornographic extortion — by a very sick man who ruined many girls’ lives.

    Chansler told detectives he targeted children because adult women were “too smart” to fall for his scheme. Investigators found thousands of videos and photos on his computers, including recordings of girls crying and pleading with him to stop and one girl holding a handwritten sign with a single word: “rape.” […]

    For victims, she said, “it’s psychologically damaging. It’s not fair. People think victims of child pornography are not touched. It’s not like rape. It’s just overlooked. … They don’t realize what we’re doing when we have to send those pictures. We’re doing it ourselves. We’re forced to. … We could not say no.”

    Reynolds said the people who look at the pictures “are dads and brothers and sons.” She wants to tell them, “This could be your sister.”

    They are creating the demand, the marketplace that is being catered to by the child pornography producers and extortionists.

    “You’re contributing to it. You can’t be a law-abiding citizen if you’re contributing to extortion,” Reynolds said. “People send out those pictures and make them public because of people who view them.”

A former Washington, D.C., police officer and pastor will spend 18 years in prison for sexually assaulting two teen girls.

Darrell Best, 46, was sentenced Friday for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl at police headquarters and a 16-year-old girl at the church where he served as pastor. He also pleaded guilty to a child pornography charge and will be restricted from being alone with minors for the rest of his life.

Judge Reggie Walton wanted Best to serve life in prison, but agreed to the plea agreement to avoid putting the victims through a trial, News4’s Mark Segraves reports.

The sister of one victim told the judge her sister no longer feels safe going to church.

“I still see the pain in my sister everyday,” she said.

“I can understand how a child who was betrayed by her minister can give up on God,” Walton said.

About 40 members of Best’s church came to the hearing wearing T-shirts that read “Team Best.”

Segraves said the sentencing was very emotional at times, with the father of one of the victims screaming Best “should die in jail.”

“The judge didn’t give him enough time,” the father said.

Court officers removed him from the courtroom.

But Walton agreed the sentence wasn’t enough.

“You should be put away for life,” he said.

Best cried during the proceedings.

The 16-year-old victim told police Best sexually abused her three times at the church, beginning in December 2014. He was off-duty during the incidents, police said. According to charging documents, Best was in uniform on one occasion when he raped the girl inside the church.

Best took at least seven sexually explicit pictures of the 16-year-old.

The second victim, who was 17 at the time, said Best sexually assaulted her in his office on the fifth floor of police headquarters after he took her out to dinner, according to charging documents. He was wearing his badge and gun at the time.

“I am hopeful the sentencing today provides some measure of comfort for these victims and their families,” D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier in a press release Friday.

When he is released from prison, Best will be placed on supervised release for the rest of his life and must register as a sex offender.

Best’s attorney Nikki Lotze said Friday that her client is “very remorseful” and “glad to be putting this behind him.”
