South Carolina man sentenced for transporting minor for sex

ABERDEEN, Miss. (WJTV) – A South Carolina man was sentenced for transporting a minor from North Carolina to Louisiana through Mississippi with the intent to engage in sexual conduct.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Randy Taylor, 35, solicited a minor online to engage in sexual activity with him. Prosecutors said Taylor picked up the 12-year-old outside her home in his 18-wheeler and took the child to Louisiana where he recorded a sexual interaction between the two.

Once alerted to the missing child, FBI agents began tracking the minor and were able to rescue the child at a Vaiden, Mississippi, truck stop. The minor was returned home safely to her family.

U.S. Senior District Court Judge Sharion Aycock sentenced Taylor to 210 months in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release.

“Randy Taylor’s predatory action of soliciting a minor to indulge in his sexual fantasies was appalling,” stated Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Jackson Field Office Robert Eikhoff. “Today’s sentencing demonstrates the commitment of the FBI and our partners to stopping crimes against children.”

The FBI and the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department investigated the case.
