United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Port
Clinton, Ohio, man convicted of Attempted Receipt of Child Pornography was
sentenced on August 12, 2019, by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District
Court.
Adam Myosky, age 40, was sentenced to 6 years in federal prison,
followed by 5 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Myosky was one of seven men who were arrested and federally
indicted as a result of an undercover sex trafficking operation conducted
during the 2018 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, targeting persons willing to pay to
have sex with minors obtained through the Internet. The conviction stemmed from Myosky
communicating with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl, but who was in
fact an undercover agent, for the purpose of arranging a meeting to engage in
sexual acts with the minor.
The undercover operation and arrests were a joint effort
between the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, the Department of
Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Rapid City Police
Department, and the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Collins
prosecuted the case.
Myosky was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S.
Marshals Service.
