"Portland Man Sentenced to Prison for Attempted Sexual Act with Minor"
[!CDATA[A man from Portland, Marc David McCool, has been sentenced to four years in prison for traveling with the intent to engage in a sexual act with a minor. McCool traveled over 100 miles from Oregon to Washington to meet two children, who turned out to be fictitious and were actually undercover agents. McCool's arrest was part of an operation targeting individuals with a sexual interest in children. He had engaged in conversations with an undercover agent posing as a "taboo mommy" on the Kik messenger app, describing his sexual interest in children. McCool was arrested at a hotel in Seattle where he had planned to engage in sexual activity with the agent's supposed children. He was found in possession of items like stuffed animals, condoms, baby oil, and rope. McCool expressed remorse during sentencing and hopes to undergo treatment while in prison. After serving his four-year sentence, he will be under supervised release for 15 years.]]
