Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A Knoxville man was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of enticement of a child.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Justice say 29-year-old Dominique J. Starr was sentenced to 15 years in prison for soliciting nude photos and sex in 2022 from an undercover FBI agent who he thought was actually a 13-year-old girl.
“Starr also threatened to stalk, kidnap, and rape the purported minor,” DOJ officials said.
Two other FBI offices reported that Starr was in contact with their undercover agents as well. Starr tried to get nude pictures from them and meet them for sex, according to officials with the U.S. Department of Justice.
The DOJ investigation into Starr’s social media accounts also revealed Starr had communicated with 47 other minors he thought were between the ages of 9 and 17 years old.
Starr must also register as a sex offender and will be on 20 years of supervised release following his incarceration.
