Stacy Ryan Goldman, 32, pleaded guilty to online activity with 14 year old girl

An Evansville man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of a child. WNIN’s John Gibson has more:

Prosecutors say 32-year-old Stacy Ryan Goldman admitted he communicated with a 14-year-old Wisconsin girl via Facebook video in 2016 and 2017.

They say Goldman discussed sexual activity with the girl, sent her videos of himself in sex acts, and asked the girl to send him sexually explicit material.

The FBI said Goldman admitted that he knew the girl was a minor.

Investigators said on at least one occasion he threatened to post intimate pictures of the child online.

In addition to the 20-year sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Young ordered Goldman be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for 15 years following his release from federal prison.

Goldman must also register as a sex offender wherever he lives, works, or goes to school.
