位于夏威夷州毛伊县 Kahului 市的居民 Christopher Grindling 现年58岁。美国司法部夏威夷区联邦检察官办公室宣布，联邦陪审团在为期三天的审理后，于11月5日裁定 Grindling 持有50克以上甲基苯丙胺并意图分销罪名成立；案件由联邦地区法官 Leslie E. Kobayashi 主持审理，量刑定于2027年2月25日。
法庭文件与庭审证据显示，Grindling 是在一次针对在网络上寻找与未成年人发生性关系者的执法行动中被锁定。据检方在庭上证明，他在一款热门交友应用上向一名卧底警员提出以毒品和现金交换性行为。毛伊县警察局警员随后搜查其住所，在一个上锁的保险柜内及附近查获约113克甲基苯丙胺，现场还有数百个小型塑料分装袋和一台电子秤。
按联邦法律，Grindling 量刑时面临至少10年、最高终身监禁，最高1000万美元罚金，外加至少五年的监督释放；最终刑期将由联邦地区法官在考虑量刑指南与其他法定因素后决定。

Maui Man Convicted by Federal Jury: Offered Drugs and Cash in Child-Sex Sting, 113 Grams of Methamphetamine Found at Home
Christopher Grindling, 58, of Kahului, a city in Maui County, Hawaii, was found guilty on November 5, 2026, following a three-day jury trial before Senior United States District Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi, of possessing with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, United States Attorney Ken Sorenson announced. Sentencing is scheduled for February 25, 2027, before Judge Kobayashi.
According to court documents, Grindling was identified during an online law enforcement operation targeting individuals seeking sex with minors. As presented and proven at trial, during the operation, Grindling offered drugs and cash to an undercover officer in exchange for sex on a popular dating application. Officers with the Maui Police Department subsequently executed a search warrant at Grindling's home and found approximately 113 grams of methamphetamine locked in a safe and nearby, as well as hundreds of small plastic baggies and a digital scale.
At sentencing, Grindling faces at least 10 years and up to life in prison, a fine of up to $10,000,000, plus a term of supervised release of at least five years. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
