Carson man arraigned on child Internet sex charge
A 58-year-old Carson City man was arraigned Wednesday in federal court on charges of attempting to have sex with a minor he thought lived in South Lake Tahoe.
Timothy Craig Randall, a retired Nevada corrections officer, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to commit lewd acts with a girl and traveling in interstate commerce with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a girl.
Randall also traveled to South Lake Tahoe from Nevada in an attempt to have sex with the girl, according to the charges.
They talked in three different Internet chat rooms but met in a Yahoo! Northern Nevada chat room, authorities said.
