A Charlottesville man was sentenced to 15 years of active incarceration in connection with the online solicitation of a 13-year-old girl.
Avery Wood, 54, of Charlottesville, was sentenced on Feb. 14 in Warren County Circuit Court.
According to court documents, a detective with the Front Royal Police Department conducting an undercover operation online contacted the Office of the Attorney General Computer Crimes Section after Wood began soliciting whom he believed to be a 13-year-old girl for sexually explicit material and sent child pornography videos and explicit images of himself to the undercover detective.
During the investigation, Wood traveled to a hotel in Front Royal to meet with the “minor,” where he was subsequently arrested.
Wood admitted to sending explicit images of himself and proposing sexual acts with the minor.
A forensic examination of Wood’s cell phone revealed the chats with the undercover detective and child pornography files.
