According to WCNC-TV, James Blair, 51, will also register as a lifetime sex offender and is prohibited from having any contact with the victim. He has also been ordered to be under satellite monitoring whenever he is released from prison.
The victim is now 14 and is expected to give birth in the next couple of months. Blair was meant to be a mentor to the girl, whom he ended up abusing.
