Meadville Man Sentenced to 12 Years for Enticing Minor
A Meadville man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 15 years supervised release for enticing a minor for sex, and an additional 2 years in prison for violating federal supervised release on his 2008 case involving child sexual abuse material.
According to information presented to the court, Nathan L. Troup, 41, attempted to induce, entice and persuade an undercover investigator posing as a 15-year-old male to engage in illegal sexual activity. He then traveled to Ohio for the purpose of meeting the purported 15-year-old for illegal sexual activity.
Troup was on federal supervised release for a child pornography offense at the time he committed the crime.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
United States Attorney Cindy K. Chung commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Troup.
United States District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter imposed the sentence on Troup.
