A Campo man who sent sexually explicit material via Twitter to young actresses and mailed similar items to a 12-year-old girl featured on the reality show “Dance Moms” was sentenced Tuesday to three years in state prison.

Phoenix Sundown, 37, pleaded guilty last month to “tweeting” the sexually explicit material.

He also pleaded guilty to animal cruelty for posting a YouTube video in which he set a live mouse on fire in a toilet, said Deputy District Attorney Carlos Campbell. Sundown was arrested last Sept. 1.
