Texas man gets 9-year sentence. O.C. teen committed suicide two months after online seducer ended their relationship, court records show.
The Orange County Register
A 28-year-old Texas man pleaded guilty today to federal child molesting charges for traveling to Orange County in December 2005 for a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old girl he met on the Internet.
Kiley Ryan Bowers of Celina, Texas, admitted that he wooed the girl, and enticed her to send him nude photos and perform naked before a webcam. He also admitted that he later flew to Southern California and met the teenager for sex, first in a rental car and later in a motel.
The Lake Forest girl killed herself two months later after Bowers tried to end their online relationship. She left a note suggesting that he was at least partially responsible for causing her suicide, according to court documents.
Bowers pleaded guilty in federal court in Santa Ana to traveling across state lines to engage in child molestation, and transportation of child pornography over the Internet for causing the underage girl to send him lascivious photos.
A plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office calls for Bowers to serve nine years in a federal prison, followed by six years on probation and a lifetime registration as a sex offender.
