Tampa, Florida – In a disturbing case of attempted child enticement, Asa Nall, a 50-year-old man from Largo, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
According to evidence presented at trial, Nall communicated online and over text messages with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old child. However, in reality, he was communicating with an undercover agent.
Nall repeatedly asked the child to produce sexually explicit images for him, specifying that he wanted to see her fully nude, including close-up photos of the child’s genitalia. He also repeatedly requested to meet the child for sex, asking her to ‘sneak away’ and ‘skip school’ to meet with him.
In the conversations, Nall discussed in graphic detail the sex acts that he would engage in when they met. On October 16, 2019, Nall traveled to meet the child for sex, and he was subsequently arrested.
Law enforcement agents recovered two condoms in Nall’s pants pocket and the cellphone he had used to communicate with the child. A search of the phone revealed that Nall had also saved the child’s name to his contact list.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Largo Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lisa M. Thelwell and Erin C. Favorit.
This is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
