A St. Clair County judge Monday sentenced a Port Huron Township man to spend between nine years and 30 years in prison for taking nude pictures of four teenage girls. Frederick Clor, 55, pleaded guilty June 4 to four counts of child sexually abusive activity for the pictures officials said were taken between December and February.

Police said Clor offered the 13- and 14-year-old girls $10 a photo or $90 a photo session if they posed nude.

A search of Clor's Minnie Street home turned up a briefcase with several nude photographs of children, police said.

One mother told Adair her daughter "is suicidal" and in a "deep depression" because of Clor's actions.

The woman is not being identified by the Times Herald to protect the identity of her daughter.

"(Clor) is not fit for society," the woman said.

Judge Adair called the actions not only criminal but disgusting.

Clor read a brief apology in court during which he said his actions were "socially and morally wrong," and he used impaired judgment in taking the pictures.

His lawyer, Ambereen Ahmed, said the pictures never were sold, distributed or used in any way by Clor.

"He never touched these girls ... he never looked at these girls in a sexually gratifying manner," Ahmed said. "He realized once he took (the pictures) that what he did was wrong."
