Randon Sprinkle, 31, Gets 10 Years After FBI Posed As A Father Online
He met the decoy on a dating app, moved to Telegram, and sent a video of a child being abused.
- May 2025: he offered to fly to Washington and abuse the agent's fictional 9-year-old son.
- FBI searched his Richmond home October 16, 2025, seizing two laptops and a phone.
- Agents found 45 CSAM files on the devices, including abuse of toddler-aged children.
Why it matters: He needed no informant: his own messages to a stranger convicted him before the trial began.
