Luring a Minor by Computer or other Electronic Means is a Class B Felony
February 24, 2021
Fifty-eight-year-old Ron Thompson faces a charge of Luring a Minor by Computer or other Electronic Means.
“It is a Class B Felony. As a Class B Felony, that is something that has a possible maximum penalty of 10 years incarceration, a $20,000 fine, or both,” explained Cass County State’s Attorney Birch Burdick.
Court documents show Thompson had sexually explicit online conversations between October 31st and November 6th of 2019 with a person he believed was a 14-year-old girl.
Thompson was actually interacting with an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigator in a different state.
