This Author is a registered sex offender

An author of sex bondage books was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison for sending obscene material to a 17-year-old girl in New York who wanted to be part of his polyamorous family.

Charles Michael Segaloff, 60, of Lawton, pleaded guilty in April to one felony count of sending offensive material to an individual under 18.

During Thursday's sentencing, Segaloff told an Oklahoma City federal judge that he didn't think he was breaking the law but accepts responsibility for his actions.

"This was the stupidest thing I've ever done," Segaloff said. "I believed, at the time, my actions were legal. I was wrong, and I'm sorry."

In a court document filed Monday, Segaloff's attorney, Joseph G. Sha
