Grimy Times has learned that a 35-year-old man from Gates, New York, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to lure a teenager for sex.
Dillon T. Boyington, 35, was convicted of attempted online enticement of a minor and was sentenced to 120 months in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi stated that the defendant used a social media application to attempt to meet a 14-year-old child for sex. As he traveled to meet the child on October 24, 2018, Boyington was intercepted by members of the New York State Police.
Upon his arrest, the defendant was found to be in possession of condoms and candy, which he intended to give to the child, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Rossi.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Eric Laughton, and the Rochester Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert.
Boyington’s sentence serves as a warning to those who would seek to exploit and harm our children. His actions were reprehensible and deserving of the severe punishment he received.
Barbara Burns, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office, can be reached at (716) 843-5817 for further comment.
