Sibley sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for enticement

The Wisconsin man who was arrested at the Grundy County Lake last summer for attempting to solicit sexual contact with a minor has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.
           
Carson Sibley, age 27, of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, was already a registered sex offender in his home state after being convicted of felony Possession of Child Pornography in Hawaii in 2013, and he pled guilty to one count of felony Enticement in U.S. District Court in Cedar Rapids in late September.
           
According to court records, Sibley used online video games to connect with his victims and often pretended to be female to coerce underage boys into sending him explicit photos, and he traveled to Grundy County at least twice in hopes of having sex with a male under the age of 16.
