According to San Diego's NBC News, Phoenix Sundown, 46, was sentenced to three years in prison in January 2016, after pleading guilty to sending harmful material to a minor with intent of seduction and to a charge of animal cruelty.
He was reported to have been arrested after sending five packages to JoJo containing 'obscene matter', and was said to have also sent 11 packages to fellow Dance Mom star Maddie Ziegler, who was also 12 at the tine,
In an a jailhouse interview with San Diego’s ABC 10, Sundown claimed that while people may think is is 'way obsessed', they were not 'recognising that there’s communication going on', claiming that the girls talk to him through code on social media.
He said: 'They know I’m not going to come swinging through a rope and smashing through a window and screaming with print outs that we married. I’m not that crazy.'
Sundown also showed a tattoo on his neck of JoJo and a zombified portrait of Dance Moms coach Abby Lee Miller.
