SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A 50-year-old electrical engineer remains behind bars after being sentenced for trying to meet what he thought was a young girl on the Internet.
Prosecutors say Jerald D'Souza was sentenced in a Sacramento federal court Thursday to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in August to using the Internet to attempt to commit criminal sex acts with a minor female.
The 50-year-old D'Souza has been in custody since March 6, 2009 when he was arrested near Truckee. Prosecutors say after communicating with what he believed was a 13-year-old girl, he drove from his home in the San Francisco Bay suburb of Dublin with a plan to bring the girl to a motel.
It turned out the person was not a young girl, but an FBI informant.
