Tampa, Florida – U.S. District Judge James S. Moody today sentenced Danni McNaughton (45, Tampa) to 10 years in federal prison for attempted enticement of a minor. The court also ordered him to forfeit a cellphone that he had used in committing the offense.
According to court documents, between March 28, 2017, and October 11, 2017, McNaughton communicated online with an undercover officer, whom he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, and continually requested that the “child” send him pictures of herself. To induce such actions, McNaughton sent the “child” numerous images of his genitalia, as well as pictures of child erotica and a photo of child pornography. He also instructed the “child” on how to masturbate and discussed what types of sexual acts he would like to perform on her.
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations.
