Charles A. Soderman, 31, of Marathon, Fla., was sentenced Tuesday to 78 months in federal prison after he was found guilty by a federal jury in September.
According to a news release from the U.S Attorney's Office, U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Martone also ordered that Soderman be on a lifetime supervised release and register as a sex offender.
According to the release, on March 9, Soderman flew from Miami to Yuma and then traveled to the Mexican border in an attempt to have sex with a male child as young as age 6. The arrest was part of an undercover operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to halt sex tourism into Mexico as part of ICE's national program, Operation Predator.
