A man who traveled from Minnesota to Iowa to have sex with
minors was sentenced today to 27 years in federal prison.
Terrance Nordwall, age 51, of Faribault, Minnesota, received
the sentence after an October 31, 2019, jury verdict finding him guilty of
attempted sex trafficking of children, attempted enticement of minors, and
travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
The evidence at trial showed that, in March and April of
2019, Nordwall exchanged text messages with a man who he believed was a “pimp”
with a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl available. The man was actually an undercover law enforcement
officer. Nordwall agreed to pay the pimp
$200 for a half hour with the two girls, and he drove to the Cedar Rapids area,
where he met law enforcement officers.
In 2004, in Minnesota, Nordwall was convicted of criminal sexual conduct
in the third degree, two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the fifth degree,
and possession of pornographic work involving minors.
Nordwall was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States
District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
Nordwall was sentenced to 324 months’ imprisonment. A special assessment of $300 was imposed, and
Nordwall must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release. He must comply with all sex offender
registration and public notification requirements.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney
Mark Tremmel and was investigated by the Iowa Division of Criminal
Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, the Iowa State Patrol, and the
Hiawatha Police Department.
