He initially groomed the girl via Snapchat, persuading her to send sexual images and videos, and eventually began meeting her to carry out sexual abuse.
When she became pregnant, he forced her to have an abortion, fearing that the pregnancy might lead to his arrest.
She explained how Kingsbury controlled her online presence, her clothing choices, and her social interactions, effectively isolating her from her loved ones.
The judge characterized Kingsbury as cunning and methodical in his grooming of underage girls and sentenced him to 15 years and 8 months in prison.
The girl was present at the hearing, where she read a statement describing how he manipulated and abused her.
