A southern Wisconsin man has been sentenced after attempting to meet up with a Manitowoc girl earlier this year.
43-year-old Marc Bennett was sentenced to spend 10 years in prison by US District Judge William Griesbach followed by 10 years of extended supervision on a charge of Attempted Child Enticement.
Bennett, who was a former employee of the Department of Administration, had been using social media apps to speak with the 12-year-old girl.
During the conversations, Bennett asked for sexual images of the girl and told her he wanted to have sex with her.
While being arrested in Manitowoc on February 1st by an undercover police officer, Bennet reportedly showed his state ID badge and claimed to be “attempting to save a victim of human trafficking.”
