MI- Wyoming man sentenced to prison for Internet sex sting

1-29-2009 Michigan (Phase-I Sentencing):

GRAND RAPIDS -- A Wyoming man will serve between one and 20 years in prison after he was caught in an Internet child sexual predator sting at a Grand Rapids Township home last October.

_____, 45, was one of 21 men arrested during the operation staged by the state Attorney General and Kent County sheriff's offices. Investigators posed as teenagers in online chatrooms and agreed to meetings with the would-be predators, who allegedly were the ones to bring up sex and a possible rendezvous.

_____, who earlier said he delivered cookie dough to food service departments at schools, pleaded guilty to using a computer to commit a crime. A second charge of child sexually abusive activity was dismissed as part of a plea deal.

Kent County Circuit Judge George Buth ordered the prison term today (1-29-09). ..News Source.. by The Grand Rapids Press
