Man sentenced for sex crime with girl he met online
ST. LOUIS — A Missouri man was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison for raping a 15-year-old he met online, an Ohio girl held captive in his home for about a month.
Christopher Schroeder, 42, of Marthasville, pleaded guilty in July in federal court in St. Louis to one count of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. State charges of statutory rape are still pending.
Schroeder’s attorney did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
