Ryan Michael Booth, a 31-year old Long Beach man, faces 128 years to life in prison for sexually assaulting a family member in Costa Mesa for more than a year, starting when she was 9 months old, and circulating videos of his acts online, according to the O.C. Register.

Booth was convicted on Wednesday of multiple felony counts of sexually assaulting a child, using a child for obscene matter and possession of child pornography, according to the DA.

Booth made four videos of himself molesting the girl in her crib until she was 2-years old.

LAPD police investigators found 220,000 images of child porn on a hard drive in his home computer, which also contained 2,000 child porn videos and 150 images of the victim.

Booth told an LAPD detective that “he liked girls between the ages of, I believe, it was 9 to 12.”

Booth also admitted to the detective that he had been downloading child porno since he was in high school.

Booth is set to be sentenced on May 19.
