U.S. District Court Judge Ronald B. Leighton said at sentencing that Overton engaged in a pattern of exploitation.
Documents say the two met in November 2016 at a Port Angeles convenience store and that he drove her into Olympic National Park, where the abuse happened.
In a plea agreement, Overton admitted to communicating with other minors between 12-15, engaging in communications of a sexual nature and asking for sexually explicit images and videos.
