Robert Cutter, age 44, of Lake George, New York, pled guilty today to the attempted online enticement of a minor.
United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Craig L. Tremaroli, special agent in charge of the Albany Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), made the announcement.
Cutter admitted that on June 27, 2023, he exchanged sexually explicit text messages with someone he believed was an adult offering the sexual services of a 12-year-old girl in an attempt to entice the child into engaging in sexual acts with him.
Cutter also admitted that on that same date, he travelled to a pre-determined location in Warren County, New York, with the intent to engage in sexual acts with the 12-year-old girl. Cutter was arrested by law enforcement shortly after arriving at the location.
At sentencing on November 11, 2024, before United States District Mae A. D’Agostino, Cutter faces at least 10 years and up to life in prison. The judge will also be required to impose a term of post-release supervision of at least five years and up to life.
The court may also impose a fine of up to $250,000, restitution, and forfeiture of the smartphone Cutter used to commit his offence.
A defendant’s sentence is imposed by a judge based on the particular statute the defendant is charged with violating, the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and other factors.
Cutter will also have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.
