SPRINGFIELD – A 27-year-old man from Reading, Penn. faces at least 15 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court of attempting to seduce a 12-year-old South Hadley boy that he met over the Internet. Jonathan D. Green agreed to plead guilty to two charges, sexual exploitation of a child and travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, which each stem from the same incident over the summer of 2007.Prosecutors charged that Green sent a 12-year-old boy a video of himself engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He persuaded the boy to make a tape performing the same actions from Green’s tape and to send it back to Green. Shortly after receiving the tape, Green traveled to South Hadley on Aug. 22, 2007 with the intent of having sex with the boy. They met at the boy’s South Hadley home and spent several hours outside together without his parent’s knowledge. A suspicious neighbor called police before Green could engage in sex with the boy, officials said. Judge Michael A. Ponsor has scheduled a sentencing hearing for March 25. He faces a sentence of 15 to 60 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000. The case was investigated by South Hadley police, and FBI, and was prosecuted by assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Springfield.
