180个月监禁：田纳西州男子引诱未成年人未遂判15年，对方自称14岁仍约见付钱
美国司法部阿肯色州东区联邦检察官办公室宣布，田纳西州 Newbern 男子 Dillon McKinney 因引诱未成年人未遂，被判处 180 个月（15 年）联邦监禁。联邦检察官 Jonathan D. Ross 表示，判决由联邦地区法官 James M. Moody, Jr. 宣判，McKinney 刑满后还须接受 5 年监管释放；联邦刑期没有假释。
McKinney 现年 31 岁。他于 2025 年 9 月 3 日被联邦大陪审团以一项引诱未成年人未遂罪起诉，并于 2026 年 6 月 3 日认罪。
案情源于 2025 年 6 月 19 日的一次卧底行动：Lonoke 县警长办公室与 Covenant Rescue Group 开展打击未成年人人口贩运的联合行动，一名卧底执法人员在一家常被用于招嫖的社交平台上扮作未成年女性，与 McKinney 取得联系。
对话转入短信后，McKinney 主动问对方年龄；对方明确回答自己 14 岁。McKinney 仍继续提出约见发生性关系，并表示愿意为此付钱，随后按约赶往见面地点，当场被执法人员逮捕。
被捕后，McKinney 在被告知权利后承认：他明知对方自称 14 岁仍前往赴约。执法人员在其短信记录中也看到，他已与自称未成年者谈定了为特定性行为支付的金额。
McKinney 的前科包括加重入室盗窃、纵火、入室盗窃与法定强奸等多项重罪定罪。
此案属于司法部 2006 年启动的全国性「儿童安全项目」（Project Safe Childhood），该项目统筹联邦、州与地方资源，打击利用网络实施的儿童性剥削与虐待。
案件由联邦调查局（FBI）调查，Lonoke 县警长办公室与 Covenant Rescue Group 协助，助理联邦检察官 Lauren Eldridge 负责检控。
180 Months: Tennessee Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Attempted Enticement of a Minor Who Said She Was 14
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas announced that Dillon McKinney of Newbern, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 180 months (15 years) in federal prison for attempted enticement of a minor. U.S. Attorney Jonathan D. Ross said the sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge James M. Moody, Jr. McKinney, 31, must also serve five years of supervised release, and there is no parole in the federal system.
McKinney was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 3, 2025, on one count of attempted enticement of a minor, and pleaded guilty on June 3, 2026.
The case began on June 19, 2025, when the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office and the Covenant Rescue Group conducted an undercover human trafficking operation. An officer posing as a minor female on a social media platform often used for soliciting prostitutes made contact with McKinney.
After moving the conversation to text messages, McKinney asked the 'minor' her age. She told him she was 14. He nevertheless proposed meeting for sex in exchange for money, traveled to the meeting location, and was taken into custody by law enforcement officers.
In a post-Miranda interview, McKinney admitted going to meet someone for sex even after learning she was 14, and officers found messages in which he agreed to pay a set amount for specific sexual acts.
McKinney's criminal history includes felony convictions for aggravated burglary, arson, burglary, and statutory rape.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, the Justice Department's nationwide initiative, launched in May 2006, to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI with assistance from the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office and the Covenant Rescue Group. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Eldridge prosecuted the case.
