Description:
Philadelphia Man Sentenced To 120 Months For Enticing A Minor
A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, man was sentenced today to 120 months in prison for his conviction of online enticement of a minor to engage in prostitution, Acting U.S. Attorney Vikas Khanna announced.
Louis Goldenberg, 41, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, previously pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Christine P. O'Hearn to an information charging him with one count of attempted online enticement of a minor to engage in prostitution.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
In August 2023, Goldenberg began interacting on a messaging application with an undercover agent, who was posing as a middle-aged woman with a 12-year-old niece. From August through September 2023, Goldenberg messaged the undercover, continuously expressing interest in having sexual contact with the minor. During one of the conversations, Goldenberg indicated a specific hotel in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey where he wanted to have sex with the minor. On September 18, 2023, Goldenberg traveled from Pennsylvania to the Mt. Laurel hotel, where he had a reservation for that evening. When Goldenberg arrived, he was arrested by law enforcement.
In addition to the prison term, Judge O'Hearn sentenced Goldenberg to five years of supervised release and ordered him to register as a sex offender.
Acting U.S. Attorney Vikas Khanna credited special agents and task force officers with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark, under the leadership of Acting Special Agent in Charge Spiros Karabinas, with the investigation leading to the charges. He also thanked the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office and Mount Laurel Police Department.
The government is represented by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Katelyn Waegener of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Camden.
