A 32 year old man from a suburb of Indianapolis is accused of walking 351 miles to Wisconsin to meet someone he believed was a 14 year old girl, according to prosecutors. The girl was actually a Winnebago County sheriff’s deputy with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and he was arrested when he arrived.
The man, identified in court documents as Tommy, now faces a federal charge of using a computer to try to persuade or entice a minor to engage in unlawful sexual activity. These are allegations, and he has not been convicted. No response from him was included in the reports.
According to a criminal complaint, he accepted a friend request on Facebook from a profile belonging to “Kylee,” who investigators say he believed lived in Neenah, Wisconsin. The complaint says the two began exchanging sexual messages, that he asked for sexual photos, and that he tried to get her to meet him in Whitestown, Indiana. When she turned him down, he allegedly began the trip on foot.
“I will tell you when I get to Neenah 108 hours by walking,” he reportedly wrote, according to court documents. He allegedly sent selfies and pictures of exit signs along the way. On October 10, he reportedly texted that he had reached Wisconsin and that someone had bought him a bus ticket to her town. He was arrested in Winnebago County.
If convicted, he reportedly faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in prison. He is being held in the Brown County Jail.
Reports also say Winnebago County officials arrested him last month on separate state charges and that he was released from jail. No explanation for the release had been given at the time of reporting.
