A Franklin County man was sentenced for transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and online enticement of a minor.
23 year old Bailey Michael Stouter of Fayetteville was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison, followed by a lifetime term of supervised release, for transportation with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and online enticement of a minor. The Court ordered Stouter to pay $3,000 in restitution to the victim.
Stouter used a social media application to meet a 14-year-old girl. He arranged to pick the girl up from her home in Bullitt County, Kentucky, to drive her to Pennsylvania for a sexual encounter. A missing person report was issued for the child. A few days later, Stouter was located with the young girl in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania.
United States Attorney Kyle Bumgarner stated, “Online predators are a plague. They manipulate, exploit and abuse our children. Law enforcement will leave no stone unturned in searching for these predators. The United States Attorney’s Office will aggressively prosecute these deviants! Stouter’s deviance cost him 20 years in federal prison and his entire life on supervised release after he completes his 20-year sentence.”
