Joseph Marshall Blevins, 47, of Walkertown, received a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty on July 7 to nine counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months to 20 years and 4 months, suspended, and placed on 3 years of supervised probation. Blevins also received 80 days in custody but was released due to time already served. He was arrested in April after Forsyth County deputies received cyber tips and later found over 50 explicit images of children, ages 8 to 14, on his phone. Blevins is now a registered sex offender.
