A shocking case of interstate child sex crimes has come to light in Wyoming. Taylon Jeffrey Bain, 36, of Richey, Montana, has been charged with transporting a minor to engage in prohibited sexual conduct and commission of a felony offense by a registered sex offender.
According to the indictment, Bain appeared for an arraignment hearing on March 16, 2022, before United States Magistrate Judge Kelly H. Rankin and pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial has been set for May 31, 2022, before United States District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson.
Assistant United States Attorney Kerry J. Jacobson is prosecuting the case, which is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Dawson County Sheriff’s Office in Montana, and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office in Wyoming.
If convicted, Bain faces ten years to life imprisonment; five years to life of supervised release; up to a $250,000 fine, a $5,000 assessment according to the Justice of Victims of Trafficking Act and a $100 special assessment. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
An indictment merely contains allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case, Case No. 22-00009-ABJ, highlights the need for vigilance in protecting our children from the scourge of child sex trafficking.
