A twisted Texas “furry” will spend two decades in the slammer for molesting a minor at a fetish-filled convention — and commissioning disturbing art of his animal persona having sex with the victim. Joseph Ray Robertson, 37, pleaded guilty to transporting a minor for sexual exploitation after he brought the victim to Atlanta for a 2024 gathering of adults who dress up as cartoon animals, often for fetish purposes. “While at the convention, Robertson sexually abused the child by engaging in acts that would constitute child molestation and sodomy under Georgia State law,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas said.
