SIOUX CITY – A man who traveled from Aurora, Colorado to Storm Lake, Iowa, intending to engage in sexual activity with a person he believed to be a 15 year-old girl, was sentenced April 3, 2013, to 18 months in federal prison.
Mark Clay, 51, from Aurora, Colorado, received the prison term after a January 7, 2013, guilty plea to Travel With Intent to Engage in Illicit Sexual Conduct.
At the guilty plea, Clay admitted traveling from Aurora, Colorado to Storm Lake to meet a purported 15 year-old for illicit sexual conduct.
