Michael J. Mostovlyan, Online Enticement of a Minor, New Jersey 2016

**Gloucester County Man Sentenced to 78 Months in Prison for Online Enticement**

CAMDEN, N.J. - A Gloucester County man was sentenced to 78 months in prison for using a fake Facebook profile to entice children to produce sexually explicit images.

Michael J. Mostovlyan, 33, previously pleaded guilty to an information charging him with one count of online enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual conduct. U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb imposed the sentence today in Camden federal court.

According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court, Mostovlyan admitted that between January 1, 2016 and June 2, 2016, he communicated with children online in order to obtain sexually explicit images of those children.

Using a fake female persona on Facebook in the name of “Amber Zee,” which he created using actual images of a girl, Mostovlyan was able to persuade the victims to send him sexually explicit photographs or videos.

In addition to the prison term, Judge Bumb sentenced Mostovlyan to 15 years of supervised release.

U.S. Attorney Fitzpatrick credited special agents of the FBI, the Monroe Township Police Department, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office, and the Deptford Township Police Department with the investigation leading to today’s sentencing.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin C. Danilewitz of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Camden.
