A 27-year-old man met a 15-year-old girl over Xbox Live, then drove 30 hours to Central California to have sex with her, and now is looking at 10 years in the federal slammer.
The man, from Richmond Heights, Mo., ādeveloped a relationship in April 2008,ā with the girl, from Sanger, Calif., writes the Associated Press. In September he pleaded guilty to having sex with her, and was sentenced today. Somehow, he managed to elude capture by NBCās Chris Hansen (pictured) and the To Catch a Predator Team.
Federal prosecutors say Edward Stout, 27, drove almost 30 hours nonstop from Missouri to Sanger, āwhere he engaged in sexual activity with the girl.ā Good God, what kind of pharmaceuticals did he have? After 30 hours of driving, I couldnāt have sex with a croissant, much less a sentient being, for the next two days.
Stout was sentenced to more than a decade behind bars and then will have to register as a sex offender once he gets out.
