(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for enticing a 15-year-old victim to engage in illegal sexual activitiy and child pornography.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Missouri, in release, said 27-year-old Antoine Richardson was handed the sentence last week in federal court in Kansas City, Missouri.

He pleaded guilty in February to one count of use of interstate facility to entice a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity and one count of production of child pornography.

A written plea argument stated that Richardson met the minor through social media. He then communicated online with the victim and went to Grain Valley, Missouri, to engage in sexual acts four separate times between Nov. 2022 and January 2023.

The minor was sent videos of the sexual acts that Richardson recorded with his phone.

The release says Richardson admitted that he was in communication with a second minor through social media and engaged in sexually explicit conversations. He had attempted to meet the second minor and crossed state lines, but was unsuccessful.

Richardson will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.
