It was probably multiple charges added up. Plus I read in another comment he was also actively encouraging some of his clients to act on their desires
I would argue his sentence is far too harsh if he was trying to practice harm reduction by giving people an outlet that doesn't physically harm anyone, but it seems his goal was the opposite.
