Reading Man Tried to Have Sex With 12-Year Old Boy

A Reading man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for trying to have sex with a 12-year-old Massachusetts boy he met on the Internet.

Jonathan Green pleaded guilty in December to sexual exploitation of a child and traveling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct. He was also sentenced on Wednesday to five years probation.

Prosecutors say Green, 28, met the boy on the Internet in the summer of 2007, and persuaded him to make and send a sexually explicit video.

Authorities say in August 2007, Green traveled to South Hadley with the intent of having sex with the boy.

Although the two spent several hours outside together, Green did not follow through on his plans.
