A federal jury has returned a guilty verdict against a Springfield man for attempted enticement of a minor and a variety of related offenses.
The government presented evidence that established that between August 27 and August 29, 2020, 61 year old Stacey Furlow met an individual online whom he believed was a fifteen-year-old child.
Despite learning the individual’s age, Furlow discussed engaging in inappropriate activity with the minor, asked for the minor’s address on numerous occasions, and sent inappropriate pictures of himself to the child.
He asked for the child’s address and drove to the residence expecting to engage in sexual conduct; he was then arrested.
Furlow remains in the custody of U.S. Marshals Service pending sentencing. He is facing up to life in prison.
