Internet solicitation case nets 2 years [Crossville Chronicle, Tenn. :: ]


(Crossville Chronicle (TN) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) March 05--CROSSVILLE -- A Nashville area man -- one of three men charged with soliciting minors for sexual activities over the Internet was sentenced to two years in prison following a hearing in Cumberland County Criminal Court recently.



William M. Frankenbach, 34, pleaded guilty in January to exploitation of a minor and solicitation of a minor, stemming from an internet sting by the local sheriff's department's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit.

Frankenbach was accused of soliciting online a minor for sexual activities.


Sheriff's Investigator Scott Davis testified that he was working with the ICAC unit when he received chat room messages from someone later identified as Frankenbach, who thought he was talking with a young teenage girl.

Arrangements were made, according to Davis, for Frankenbach to meet a young teen girl at a local motel where he was quickly taken into custody. He was in possession of an alcoholic beverage and condoms, which had been pre-arranged for him to bring.

Frankenback is the first person sentenced to prison for Internet crimes against children by ICAC, Davis said.
