TALLAHASSEE, FL. (WTXL) - A Georgia man is sentenced to federal prison after he's found guilty for enticing a Tallahassee teenager to have sex with him.
James Korfhage will spend the next 20 years in prison. According to court documents, the 37 year old traveled from Atlanta to Tallahassee after meeting the 17 year old girl online. Korfhage posed as a 19 year old and set up a meeting in person.
Documents show the teenage girl snuck out of her house to meet him at a hotel, where they had sex.
On April 24, 2015, Korfhage was arrested in Georgia on the indictment charging him with using the internet to entice the minor victim to engage in sexual activity. Within minutes of being contacted by police, Korfhage deleted the photographs he had taken of the victim from his cellular telephone. However, a forensic examiner was able to recover them later. The examiner found that Korfhage's phone also contained other child pornography images.
Once Korfhage is out of prison he will serve 10 years of supervised release and register as a sex offender.
