Attempted Enticement of a Minor Lands Arlington Man in Hot Water

FORT WORTH — In a disturbing case of online child enticement, Marquis Konrad Streaty, 32, of Arlington, Texas, has been convicted of attempting to entice a 13-year-old female through an online platform. The conviction was announced by U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas.

According to the evidence presented at trial, Streaty posted an advertisement on an Internet message board website in a section commonly used to solicit sexual activity. The ad read, ‘Just a VERY, VERY discreet early 30’s attractive black male here just looking for a family with a kinky side.’ A law enforcement special agent, working in an undercover capacity, replied to the message asking if Streaty ‘had any hangups with age.’ The agent also stated ‘Ive got a stepdaughter who likes to play and might be up for a new friend.’ Streaty replied, ‘No I don’t have any hung ups on age’ and ‘I am interested.’

The undercover agent and Streaty continued to communicate via email and text messages, discussing meeting during the purported minor’s spring break from school, what kind of sexually explicit acts would take place, and the purported minor’s sexual preferences. In a later communication, Streaty and the purported stepfather agreed to meet at a hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, with Streaty agreeing to split the cost of the hotel room with the stepfather.

On March 9, 2017, Streaty traveled from his residence in Arlington, Texas, to the hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was intercepted by law enforcement and placed under arrest.

The U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), with assistance from the Tarrant County Criminal District’s Office, Digital Forensic and Technical Services Division, investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nancy Larson and Megan Fahey prosecuted.

Streaty was convicted on one count of enticement of a child, an offense that carries a penalty of not less than 10 years and up to life in federal prison. Sentencing is set for September 5, 2017.
