American Ninja Warrior winner Andrew 'Drew' Drechsel, 31, has been arrested on a series of child sex crime charges, including luring an underage girl for sex and manufacturing child pornography.
Former American Ninja Warrior winner Andrew 'Drew' Drechsel has been sentenced to just over 10 years in prison after being charged with a series of child sex crime charges.
Per the Attorney's Office release, the judge sentenced 'Drechsel to 15 years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $100,000 in restitution to the victim' on top of the prison term. During their purported correspondence, Drechsel is said to have arranged for the girl – who lived in New Jersey at the time – to visit his gym, the Real Life Ninja Academy, in Hamden, Connecticut in July 2015 as a present for her 15th birthday.
Just weeks later, Drechsel contacted the victim again where they discussed having sexual relations again, prosecutors say. He reportedly picked the teen girl up from her home, and drove her to the parking lot of a restaurant in Marlton where they had sex. They would also communicate regularly on Skype, where Drechsel allegedly instructed the girl to remove all of her clothes on numerous occasions and filmed the encounters on his cell phone without her knowledge.
The girl responded that she didn’t feel comfortable video chatting Drechsel, allegedly adding that she ‘felt he was not enjoying himself’.
