"According to a report from the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center at Avenel, the defendant’s sexual behavior was determined to be both compulsive and repetitive.

Given that finding, and pursuant to statute, the defendant is to serve his sentence at the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center (ADTC) and receive sex offender treatment while there."

Getty pleaded guilty to the crime on August 1 and has now been sentenced to a decade in prison and will have to register as a Sex Offender under Megan's Law, remain on parole supervision for life and never have any kind of contact with the victims or their families ever again.
