Posed as millionaire, man gets 6 1/2 years for luring - A fraud artist who tricked a 12-year-old Cambridge girl into a sexual encounter with a promise of $200 million was sentenced yesterday to 6 1/2 years in jail.
The man, 32, met the girl in an internet chat room and exchanged hundreds of cellphone text messages with her before arranging a meeting.
The girl was at first reluctant, but agreed to sex for money after the man, posing as a Russian millionaire, gradually increased his offer.
He took the girl to an area in Cambridge near railway tracks, where they had intercourse and she performed oral sex on him. As part of the con, he let her hear a telephone message suggesting he had opened a bank account into which he would transfer her payment. The money never showed up.

The man said he met the girl on a chat room and talked to her over the phone before coming to Michigan in late summer.
Although he told McBain he discovered the girl's age shortly after having intercourse with her, Assistant Prosecutor Nick Mehalco said there were three or four encounters.
``I have turned toward the Lord,'' he said, guaranteeing McBain he would never pursue underage girls again. Read More>>
