Court records and sentencing details from Wood County Common Pleas Court show Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra, 25, received an indefinite prison sentence of four to six years Thursday under Ohio’s Reagan Tokes law.
SENTENCING AND COURT ORDER
A Wood County judge sentenced Labrador-Sierra to:
- 4 years to 6 years in prison on a second-degree felony pandering charge involving sexually oriented matter
- 12 months in prison on a fifth-degree felony forgery charge

As part of the ruling, the court also ordered:
- Registration as a Tier II sex offender
