(WTAQ-WLUK) — A Door County man was sentenced to 13 years in prison for sexually victimizing an Upper Michigan minor.
Todd Stafford, 60, of Baileys Harbor, was convicted of coercion and enticement of a minor and two counts of travel in interstate commerce with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
According to prosecutors, Stafford met the minor victim, who was under the age of 16, online. Stafford traveled to Michigan twice, hoping to have sex with the minor. Eventually the minor’s father found conversations and contacted law enforcement.
The minor’s father and the Iron Mountain Police Department took over communications with Stafford, posing as the minor and arranging to meet Stafford again.
In late July 2023, Stafford again traveled to Michigan where law enforcement met and arrested him.
