  • Prison: 30 years18

Reviewed sting-related legal outcome. The article explicitly distinguishes this episode from a decoy sting: it follows the real-victim investigation that led to this conviction. DOJ release directly corroborates the same investigation and imposed sentence, but is an agency announcement rather than a court judgment. No projected release or current custody promoted.
