A Canal Fulton man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of inducing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct and two drug charges.
According to court documents, William P. Lacey, 55, persuaded, induced, enticed and coerced a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct on two occasions in February 2013.
The indictment also states that Lacey possessed four kilograms of the substance a-PVP and one kilogram of the substance 4-MEC.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Linda Barr following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force and the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
