新墨西哥州男子在卧底行动中诱引14岁少年被判最高刑3年:出狱后须登记为性犯罪者10年

新墨西哥州司法部 10 月 28 日宣布,在多机构联合开展的为期四天的卧底行动「Game Over」中落网的 Christopher Purtee,已被第二司法区法院法官判处法定最高刑期 3 年监禁。
Purtee 于今年 5 月在行动中被捕。他与一个自称 14 岁男孩的诱饵账号进行露骨的网络聊天,在确认对方年龄为 14 岁后,仍向对方发送包括生殖器在内的本人照片,并谈及携带避孕套等性用品。
在详细描述将要进行的性行为后,Purtee 表示会先去购买润滑剂,再到约定地址与「少年」见面。他抵达约定地点门口时被执法人员当场抓获,并被控以电子通信设备诱引儿童罪。
除在新墨西哥州惩教部服刑 3 年外,Purtee 出狱后还将接受 5 至 20 年的性犯罪者假释监督,并须登记为性犯罪者 10 年。
此次行动由新墨西哥州司法部卧底探员、联邦调查局(FBI)、Bernalillo County 警长办公室、Albuquerque 警局与 Santa Fe 警局联合执行,各机构在卧底聊天、监视与抓捕环节协同配合。
New Mexico Man Gets Maximum 3-Year Sentence for Soliciting 14-Year-Old Decoy in 'Game Over' Undercover Operation
The New Mexico Department of Justice announced on October 28 that Christopher Purtee, arrested in May during the multi-agency, four-day undercover operation 'Operation Game Over,' has been sentenced by a Second Judicial District Court judge to the maximum sentence of three years in prison.
Purtee was caught in a sexually explicit online chat with a decoy account identifying as a 14-year-old boy. After confirming the decoy's age as 14, Purtee sent photos of himself, including his genitals, and discussed possessing condoms and other sexual paraphernalia, according to the department.
After graphically describing sexual acts they would engage in, Purtee said he would pick up lubricant and meet the decoy at the agreed address. When he arrived at the door, he was apprehended by law enforcement and charged with child solicitation by electronic communication device.
In addition to serving three years in the New Mexico Department of Corrections, Purtee will be placed on 5 to 20 years of sex offender parole and will be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years upon his release.
The operation was conducted jointly by New Mexico Department of Justice undercover agents, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, the Albuquerque Police Department and the Santa Fe Police Department, which collaborated on undercover chats, surveillance and the takedowns that followed.
