#enticement of a minor

US Chief District Judge Derrick K. Watson on Tuesday sentenced Lyle Cummings, 47, of Maui, to 10 1/2 years of imprisonment and seven years of supervised release for attempted coercion and enticement of a child to engage in sexual activity and trafficking cocaine and crack.

A former Honolulu Police officer was arrested and indicted for alleged child sex trafficking and other offenses on Thursday.

A federal jury today found a Wailuku man guilty of attempted enticement of a minor. The charges stem from an Oct. 11, 2017 incident in which the man was accused of exchanging messages with an individual “whom he believed was a 14 year-old girl.”
