Florida Man Charged with Attempted Enticement of Minor
A 24-year-old man from Bushnell, Florida, has been indicted for attempting to entice a minor using the internet and attempted sexual exploitation of a child.
Seth Stone, 24, was arrested in Florida on June 3, 2013, after a federal grand jury indicted him on May 15, 2013, for the Attempted Enticement of a Minor Using the Internet and Attempted Sexual Exploitation of a Child.
Stone appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno in Pierre, South Dakota, on July 18, 2013, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
According to the indictment, Stone could face a mandatory minimum of 10 years up to a maximum of life imprisonment on the enticement of a minor charge, and a mandatory minimum of 15 years up to a maximum of 30 years imprisonment on the sexual exploitation charge.
Both counts include a $250,000 fine and term of supervised release of 5 years up to life for each violation, and a $100 assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley prosecuting the case.
Stone was released to a 3rd party custodian with conditions pending trial. A trial date has not been set, and the charges are merely accusations until proven guilty.
