ROCHESTER, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.
announced today that Dillon T. Boyington, 35, of Gates, NY, pleaded guilty,
before U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford, to attempted online enticement
of a minor. The charge carries a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a
maximum of life, and a $250,000 fine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle P. Rossi, who is handling the
case, stated that the defendant utilized a social media application in an attempt
to meet a 14 year-old child for sex. As he traveled to meet such child on
October 24, 2018, Boyington was intercepted by members of the New York State
Police. Upon his arrest, the defendant was found to be in possession of condoms
and candy, which he intended to give to the child.
The plea is the result of an investigation by the New York
State Police, under the direction of Major Eric Laughton, and the Rochester
Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special
Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 15, 2019, before Judge
Wolford.
