BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A Clarence man was arrested and charged with online enticement of a minor after he allegedly attempted to meet with someone he believed to be a 12-year-old girl for sex, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
On Jan. 9, a law enforcement officer created a Facebook profile for a fictional 12-year-old named "Alexis Jones." "Jones" and 33-year-old Daniel Gregory allegedly connected on the platform and spoke via Facebook Messenger, sometimes sexually.
It is alleged that Gregory would send explicit photos of himself to the account he believed to be owned by a 12-year-old.
Three days before law enforcement made the Facebook account, a complaint to the North Tonawanda Police Department stated that Gregory was asking other users, "You know any NT teens I could hook up with? 13-16."
Gregory attempted to meet up with "Jones" for weeks and they eventually arranged to meet on Feb. 3 at an apartment in Tonawanda to engage in sexual activity, officials said. North Tonawanda detectives were waiting for him to take him into custody.
Officials said Gregory was convicted in May 2019 for attempting to pursue a romantic relationship with a minor in a separate case.
Gregory faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life if convicted.
